Abstract
In this paper, a simultaneous phase-shifting point-diffraction interferometer (SPS-PDI) at 632.8 nm is designed with the assistance of an off-axis parabolic mirror (OAPM), through which the dynamic wavefront with 400 mm aperture can be detected. In the system, a polarization point-diffraction plate (P-PDP) is developed to modulate the polarization states of the reference light and the test light through a simultaneous phase-shifting system based on a chessboard phase grating and a retarder array, and four phase-shifting interferograms can be acquired to realize dynamic detection. Furthermore, the circular carrier squeezing interferometry (CCSI) is proposed to suppress the phase errors generated by position mismatch, intensity distortion, and phase-shift error. The detection result of the SPS-PDI is consistent with the 4D PhaseCam6000 dynamic interferometer. The difference of the peak-to-valley (PV) and root-mean-square (RMS) values are only 0.04λ and 0.008λ. Additionally, the capacity to detect dynamic wavefront is good.
