Abstract
A method to evaluate quantitatively the performance of the phase shift extraction algorithms in generalized phase-shifting interferometry (GPSI) is proposed. A parameter named as reconstruction signal-to-noise ratio (R-SNR) is used as the evaluation measure. The R-SNR is defined with the reconstructed object image as the signal and the residual of the DC term and conjugate image as noise. The more accurate the extracted phase shift is, the less residual of the DC term and conjugate image there is, and then the higher R-SNR is obtained. To avoid the overlap of the DC term and conjugate image and the object image, the off-axis digital holography configuration is adopted. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method have been verified by both computer simulation and optical experiments. The major advantage of the proposed method is that it utilizes the experimental detectable data and not only the computer simulation results.
