Three Dimensional Shape Measurement of a Micro Fresnel Lens with In-line Phase-shifting Digital Holographic Microscopy

Abstract

An in-line phase-shifting digital holographic microscopy system was constructed by inserting a conventional microscope in the object arm of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. It was used to measure the three dimensional shape of a micro Fresnel lens. It was also shown that both the lateral and the axial resolutions of the in-line phase-shifting system using a self-calibration algorithm were superior to those of the best off-axis system.
