Visualized measurement of the acoustic levitation field based on digital holography with phase multiplication

By using digital holographic interferometory with phase multiplication, the visualized measurement of the acoustic levitation field (ALF) with single axis is carried out. The digital holograms of the ALF under different conditions are recorded by use of CCD. The corresponding digital holographic interferograms reflecting the sound pressure distribution and the interference phase distribution are obtained by numerical reconstruction and phase subtraction, which are consistent with the theoretical results. It indicates that the proposed digital holographic interferometory with phase multiplication can successfully double the fringe number of the interference phase patterns of the ALF and improve the measurement precision. Compared with the conventional optical holographic interferometory, digital holographic interferometory has the merits of quasi real-time, more exactitude and convenient operation, and it provides an effective way for studying the sound pressure distribution of the ALF.     

Application of the holographic carrier fringe and FFT technique for deformation measurement

This paper describes a holographic system based on the use of fibre optics and automatic spatial carrier fringe pattern analysis. Carrier fringes are generated by simply translating the object beam between two exposures. Single-mode optical fibres are used to transfer both the object and reference beams. The fast Fourier transform method is used to process the interferograms: it extracts phase from fringe patterns resulting from the interference of tilted wavefronts. The method is illustrated by measuring the deformation of an arbitrarily clamped, uniformly loaded circular plate. The results are given for the perspective plot of the out-of-plane deformation field, the maps of wrapped and unwrapped phase, and a contour map of the unwrapped phase.

Computer aided evaluation of fringe patterns

The crucial step in computer aided evaluation of interferometric fringe patterns is the determination of the interference phase distribution from the recorded and stored intensity pattern. Methods for determination of the interference phase distributions from fringe patterns are presented and the most important methods, which are skeletonising, temporary heterodyning, phase shifting and Fourier transform evaluation are compared with regard to experimental requirements, achievable resolution and precision, as well as inherent noise suppression and image enhancement. The comparison shows that whenever phase shifting is possible, it is the best choice. If only one interference pattern is offered, Fourier transform evaluation is recommendable. For demodulation of the wrapped phase a path-independent algorithm is presented. Practical examples are given from holographic interferometric measurements.     

Experimental and numerical investigations of resonant vibration characteristics for piezoceramic plates.

Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) is a full field, non-contact technique for measuring the surface displacement of a structure subjected to static loading or, especially, to dynamic vibration. In this article we employ an optical system called the amplitude-fluctuation ESPI with out-of-plane and in-plane measurements to investigate the vibration characteristics of piezoceramic plates. Two different configurations of piezoceramic plates, namely the rectangular and the circular plates, are discussed in detail. As compared with the film recording and optical reconstruction procedures used for holographic interferometry, the interferometric fringes of AF-ESPI are produced instantly by a video recording system. Because the clear fringe patterns will be shown only at resonant frequencies, both the resonant frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes are obtained experimentally at the same time by the proposed AF-ESPI method. Excellent quality of the interferometric fringe patterns for both the in-plane and out-of-plane vibration mode shapes is demonstrated. The resonant frequencies of the piezoceramic plates are also measured by the conventional impedance analysis. From experimental results, we find that the out-of-plane vibration modes (type A) with lower resonant frequencies cannot be measured by the impedance analysis and only the in-plane vibration modes (type B) will be shown. However, both the out-of-plane (bending) and in-plane (extensional) vibration modes of piezoceramic plates are obtained by the AF-ESPI method. Finally, the numerical finite element calculations are also performed, and the results are compared with the experimental measurements. It is shown that the numerical calculations and the experimental results agree fairly well for both the resonant frequencies and the mode shapes.

High-sensitivity holographic interferometry method for studying transparent objects with small transverse size

A new method for studying transparent objects with a small transverse size is considered. The method is based on lateral-shift holographic interferometry combining the displacement of the transparent object under investigation between the recordings of a pair of holographic interference patterns and their optical treatment. The interference patterns of the transparent object under investigation with a lateral shift equal to or larger than the linear size of the object are equivalent to the interference patterns obtained in a double-beam interferometer with a reference wave. In addition, such patterns are characterized by a higher sensitivity of imaging of optical inhomogeneities of the object under investigation. The results of experiments on testing this method for monitoring optical inhomogeneities of the active medium crystal of a solid-state laser are reported. The resultant interference patterns depict optical inhomogeneity of the crystal with a sensitivity 12 times higher.     

The holographic-hole drilling method for residual stress determination

Holographic-hole drilling is a method developed for the rapid determination of residual stresses from an optical interference fringe pattern. A small diameter blind hole is drilled into a part containing residual stresses, and the displacements caused by localized stress relief are registered by real-time holographic interferometry. The resulting fringe pattern is evaluated to calculate residual stresses, using a simple ‘fringe counting’ method described here. Results of applying the method in laboratory tests to a variety of uniform biaxial states-of-stress from equibiaxial compression to pure shear are shown. Two sample applications of the method, the evaluation of residual stresses at a cold-worked hole and at a weld bead, are also given. Extensions of the method to evaluate stresses non-uniform in depth and/or along the surface are discussed.     

Limitation of carrier fringe methods in digital photoelasticity

The carrier fringes method has been proposed in digital photoelasticity in combination with techniques such as Fourier transform and phase shifting method, without considering the influence of the isoclinics on the isochromatic patterns analysis. Unlike other optical methods as moiré and holographic interferometry, in photoelasticity the light intensity emerging from a circular polariscope is related to both the isochromatic retardation and the isoclinic parameter. As it is shown by the theoretical analysis, owing to the misalignment between the principal stresses in the model and in the carrier, the computed retardation is affected by an error which is the same for all photoelastic methods based on the use of carrier fringes. Consequently, the photoelastic analysis carried out by methods that use carrier fringes cannot be applied as a full-field technique. In detail, numerical simulations show that the retardation error is comparable (less than 0.05 fringe orders) with that of other photoelastic methods provided that the misalignment between the principal stresses in the model and in the carrier is less than 30°. On the contrary, in the model zones where the misalignment is higher than 30°, the retardation measurement can be affected by non negligible errors (up to 0.25 fringe orders).

Measurement of shock waves using phase shifting pulsed holographic interferometer

A phase shifting pulsed holographic interferometer was applied to the experimental study of the propagation of laser-induced shock waves over metal plates. A double-pulsed ruby laser was used to generate the shock waves and to make a holographic interferogram of the wave fields. The phase shifting method with a dual-reference beam solved the sign ambiguity problem in holographic fringe patterns and allowed a quantitative evaluation of the phase of the interference patterns. The transient surface profile and propagation behavior of the shock wave over plates were investigated from the holographic fringe patterns.

90°全息记录衍射效率分析与提高

对光折变全息记录特别是双中心全息记录中90°记录结构下较低的衍射效率进行了研究,采用局域衍射理论对90°记录结构的衍射进行了分析,表明在同样的折射率变化和2 mm的光束宽度的情况下,只有当折射率光栅振幅大于10^-4时,90°记录结构衍射效率才能够与小角度透射记录结构的衍射效率大致相当。针对环境干扰导致的干涉条纹振动影响光栅记录,提出了有效调制度概念,根据分析90°记录结构的干涉条纹间距很小,容易受外界环境干扰而导致低的折射率变化率,因此应采用主动条纹锁定系统。此外在双中心全息记录中,微观光学参量的优化对衍射效率影响也很重要。     

Real-time color holographic interferometry devoted to 2D unsteady wake flows

A new optical technique based on real time holographic interferometry in true colors has been implemented around the transonic wind tunnel of the ONERA-Lille center to analyze 2D unsteady wake flows. Tests realized in color interferometry, real time and double exposure, use simultaneously three wavelengths of a continuous waves laser (argon and krypton mixed) and holograms are recorded on silver-halide single-layer panchromatic Slavich PFG03c plates. The very principle of real-time true color holographic interferometry uses three primary wavelengths (red, green and blue) to record, under no-flow conditions, the interference among the three measurement beams and the three reference beams simultaneously on a single reference hologram. After the holographic plate is developed, it is placed on the test setup again in the position it occupied during exposure and the hologram is illuminated again by the three reference beams and three measurement beams. A flat, uniform color can then be observed behind the hologram. So a horizontal, vertical, or even circular fringe pattern can be formed and the achromatic central fringe can be made out very clearly. The single color is used to determine the path difference zero on the interferograms. The flow studied was the unsteady flow downstream of a cylinder placed crosswise in the test section. A sequence of hundred interferograms was recorded on the flow around the cylinder at Mach 0.37. The vortex formation and dissipation phases can be seen very clearly, along with the fringe beat to either side of the cylinder.     

Dynamic phase profile of phase objects based in the use of a quasi-common path interferometer

In this paper, we propose a quasi common-path interferometer based on a two beams configuration (TBC) using simultaneous phase shifting interferometry modulated by polarization that shows insensitivity against external vibration. Due to the fact that the configuration is capable of obtaining two beams whose separation can be varied, according to the characteristics of the grid used, to obtain the interference patterns. It can be used to implement a quasi-common path interferometer that allows the measurement of dynamic events with high accuracy. For demodulate the fringe patterns generated by the optical system we using the conventional four step phase shifting method. Experimental results are also given.     

Holographic interferometry for measuring residual stresses by using probing holes

An original method of determining residual stresses by using probing holes and measuring the difference in the holographic interference fringe orders for two sets of pairs of points taken on the principal strain axes is suggested. The optical scheme of the interferometer is based on the use of reflection holograms. The principal residual strains are found by solving an overdetermined set of linear equations. The effect of rigid displacement on the fringe pattern is taken into account. The method is experimentally verified by measuring elastic stresses in uniaxially and biaxially strained specimens.     

Determination of a surface macrorelief with the double-exposure fringe projection method

The combination of the fringe projection method with holographic double-exposure recording is shown to allow one, by using a single double-exposure hologram, to reconstruct interference patterns both of macrorelief profiles of a diffusely scattering surface and of changes in the macrorelief shape occurring in the time between the exposures. Interference patterns of macrorelief shape and its changes that were reconstructed with the use of a double-exposure hologram of a deformed aluminum plate are presented and demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
