Abstract
Instantaneous phase shifting interferometry technology, the core component of which is the pixel micropolarizer camera, has been widely used in commercial interferometers. This technology has the superiority of single-frame acquisition, vibration insensitivity, and no need for phase shifting devices. However, due to manufacturing defects and accuracy limitations, the extinction ratios (ER) of the micropolarizer array are different and fairly small, directly affecting the phase calculation accuracy. This paper initially derives a theoretical expression for the phase calculation error introduced by the extinction ratio (ER) and proposes the error correction model to reduce phase calculation errors caused by the extinction ratio. The theoretical analysis can serve as an important basis for accurately assessing the polarization characteristics of a pixel micropolarizer camera. Quantifying the impact of the extinction ratios provides significant support for the selection of polarization equipment. In addition, the paper proposes a calibration model to improve measurement accuracy, which can serve as an effective means to reduce the impact of the extinction ratio (ER). The innovative research content revealed the influence of extinction ratio (ER), serving as a valuable complement to the existing analysis and research on extinction ratio (ER).
