Abstract
A single shot point-diffraction interferometer (PDI) is proposed in this paper, in which the object beam is split into two copies by means of a beamsplitting module consisting of one plate beamsplitter and one mirror. One of the reflected beams is spatially filtered as a reference beam by one pinhole array in the spectral plane. The split two beams share almost the same path, and by adjusting the inclined angle of the plate beamsplitter, the carrier frequency and legibility of the interferogram can be modulated easily. Moreover, the contrast of the interferogram can be adjusted by changing different plate beamsplitters. Compared to conventional common path off-axis interferometers, this PDI has a simple optical setup, easy optical implementation and outstanding measurement ability with high precision, measurement efficiency and stability. Several experimental results will be provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.
