Abstract
A phase-resolved heterodyne shearing interferometer concept is under development for high-rate, whole field observations of transient surface motion. The sensor utilizes frequency and polarization multiplexing with two temporal carrier frequencies to separate each segment of a shearing Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Post-processing routines have been developed to recombine the segments by extracting the scattered object phase from Doppler shifted intermediate carrier frequencies. The processing routines provide quantitative relative phase changes and information required to generate phase resolved shearographic fringe patterns without temporal or spatial phase shifting. Separation of each segment allows for adjustment of shearing distance and direction as well as simultaneous whole field Doppler velocity (LDV) measurements. This paper presents background theory and numerical model results leading to a sensor concept.
