Double-exposure phase calculation method in electronic speckle pattern interferometry based on holographic object illumination.

Multiple-exposure phase calculation procedures are widely used in electronic speckle pattern interferometry to calculate phase maps of displacements. We developed a double-exposure process based on holographic illumination of the object and the idea of the spatial carrier phase-shifting method to examine transient displacements. In our work, computer-generated holograms and a spatial light modulator were used to generate proper coherent illuminating masks.

Difference displacement measurement by digital holography by use of simulated wave fronts.

A concept called fringe compensation was first presented in phase-shifting electronic speckle-pattern interferometry. We apply a similar principle to digital holographic interferometry; here the phase of a wave front is known and can be manipulated. The basic mathematical formulation of fringe compensation and some experimental results are shown with relatively large, simple rigid-body rotation and circular membrane deformation.
