Double Frequency Grating Lateral Shear Interferometer

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A simple grating lateral shear interferometer is described that can be made to give simultaneously two interferograms having shear in two orthogonal directions. The shear for the two orthogonal directions is produced in one plane by one double frequency crossed diffraction grating that can easily be produced holographically. Translating the grating sideways causes the irradiance of the interferogram to vary sinusoidally with time enabling the interferometer to be used with real-time heterodyne phase detection.
