Abstract
Interferometric image processing systems based on image inversion normally use multiple paths with inversion mirrors. Since such systems must meet strict requirements of alignment and stability, a common-path implementation using polarization channels and six anisotropic optical elements was recently introduced. We demonstrate here the operation of a common-path polarization-based image-inversion interferometeric system using only two anisotropic lenses. Applications such as spatial parity analysis and image centroid measurements are examined theoretically and demonstrated experimentally.
