Technical field
The present invention relates to the method and apparatus of detection of dynamic corrugated information, relate in particular to a kind of method and realization light path of utilizing the simultaneous phase-shifting interference technique to obtain optical phase.
Background technology
In the optical wave-front interferometry, usually with laser as coherent source, method by minute amplitude produces two bundle corrugateds, a branch of corrugated is invested standard reference lens and is returned the back and forms with reference to the corrugated, a branch of corrugated is invested measured piece and is returned the back and forms the test corrugated, with reference to corrugated and the test corrugated formation interference field that meets in the space, by digital image acquisition device interference field is noted with the form of interference fringe picture, interference fringe picture is analyzed just can be drawn the shape of testing the corrugated.At present, in the commercialization laser wavefront interferometer, also be extensive use of the method that the optics phase shift is measured at home and abroad.This method is with the actuation device of piezoelectric ceramic transducer (PZT) as the optics phase shift, standard reference lens is bound up by elastic construction and PZT device, when adding stepped voltage to PZT, PzT produces step-wise displacement, this displacement passes to standard reference lens by elastic construction, thereby can staged change with reference to the phase place on corrugated that is realize optics phase shift (the phase shift step-length is 90 ° usually), in the phase shift process, gather interference field and can obtain some amplitude shift interference bar graphs.Can further improve the wavefront measurement precision by analysis to several movable phase interfere bar graphs.Yet, the phase shift of this PZT optics is a kind of time domain phase shift, and when there was vibration in test environment, the different phase-shift interferences of gathering constantly will be introduced phase error, this error is random variation and be difficult to eliminate normally, and it is the main source of error in the time domain phase-shifting interference measuring.Even do not consider the influence of ambient vibration, interferometer also will carry out linearity correction to the electric voltage displacement characteristic of PZT before each the measurement, to guarantee the accuracy of phase shift in the measuring process.Phase shift is not suitable for the on-the-spot interferometry of vibration in view of time domain PZT optics, and therefore the most direct thinking is to produce some movable phase interferes field simultaneously in the spatial domain, and these interference fields are carried out the transient state synchronous recording, just can obtain some width of cloth simultaneous phase-shifting interference fringe pictures.Because the influence of vibration is consistent to the influence of simultaneous phase-shifting interference fringe picture, just can eliminate the influence of vibration by subtracting each other the method for being divided by in the phase shift algorithm, so just realized adapting to more the multiplex (MUX) do the high precision wavefront measurement of environment and not needs before each the measurement, carrying out the PZT linearity correction.Research according to people such as calendar year 2001 JamesE.Millerd and NealJ.Brock, adopt holographic grating that light beam is carried out four beam splitting, and, having obtained the four amplitude shifts interference fringe picture of 90 degree mutually simultaneously in the space in conjunction with the polarization interference method, this method has obtained measurement result preferably.But owing to adopt holographic grating to carry out beam split, in order unnecessary diffraction light not occur, not change the corrugated of incident light, higher to the preparing grating technological requirement, the whole cost of therefore this interferometer is higher.
