Abstract
Phase-shifting interferometry is a standard tool in optical metrology. Most frequently, it needs three or more interferograms to solve the system of fringe equations for phase or amplitude retrieval, which limits its time resolution. Recently, the topic of two-shot, arbitrary-phase-step fringe pattern phase and amplitude demodulation has been flourishing and attracting attention with several novel and interesting methods being proposed. In this work, we evaluate six up-to-date two-shot phase-shifting methods analyzing their main error sources and proposing efficient ways to minimize their influence by adaptive filtering using the Hilbert–Huang transform.
