基于样本块匹配的干涉图延拓方法

在快速傅里叶变换(FFT)方法处理单幅干涉图原理的基础上,提出一种基于样本块匹配的干涉图延拓方法,利用干涉图像的可信度和等照度线特征,来确定待填充块的优先权,然后在干涉图的已知区域寻找与待填充块最相似的样本块来进行填充。充分利用了干涉图的条纹特征,结合梯度变化方向有效地合成纹理信息,具有很好的延拓效果。最后将该干涉图延拓方法与傅里叶变换,合适的滤波函数和相位解包方法结合起来形成整套单幅干涉图处理方法。采用该单幅干涉图处理方法获得的波面峰谷值与Zygo移相干涉仪得到的平均相差不到λ/100,并且两种方法获得的波面均方根值平均相差不到λ/200。     

空间调制型傅里叶变换光谱仪光场的均匀性研究

基于多级微反射镜的空间调制型傅里叶变换光谱仪在光场的横向空间同时采集所有光程差的干涉图信息,所以光场能量的空间分布特性影响着系统的性能。文章将空间分布函数引入到光谱仪系统中,通过仿真实验得到,分布函数调制后的干涉图对比度下降,同时复原光谱中出现边频谱线。理论分析表明,干涉图调制度下降来源于调制度函数对光程差采样空间的周期性变化;而边频谱线则是光源的单色谱线对调制度函数的空间频谱进行频率搬移的结果。最后,提出了平场校正的差影算法与反向恢复算法。仿真结果表明,反向恢复算法可以更好的复原出干涉图和光谱。     

非均匀采样干涉数据光谱反演技术研究

干涉光谱成像仪获取的干涉数据是一种中间数据,需要进行光谱反演才能够得到目标光谱数据,傅里叶变换方法是常规的光谱反演方法。由于干涉数据中存在非均匀采样问题,若忽略光谱混叠,直接采用快速傅里叶变换会导致反演光谱的失真,难以满足实时处理需求。针对非均匀采样干涉数据的光谱反演需求,将插值及非均匀快速傅里叶变换(NUFFT)方法应用到光谱反演处理中,对过采样及部分欠采样情况下的非均匀采样干涉数据,提出了相应的光谱反演方法,并分析了方法的适用性。最后对过采样及部分欠采样情况下的光谱反演方法进行计算机仿真,过采样情况下采用NUFFT方法反演光谱的精度要明显高于插值方法,而部分欠采样情况下插值方法反演光谱的精度要明显高于NUFFT方法,并对欠采样造成的光谱混叠有一定的修正,验证了方法的有效性。

Determination of fractional fringe orders in holographic interferometry using polarization phase shifting

A simple method to determine the fringe orders at points between fringes in holographic interferometry is presented. The method is based on the use of two reference beams in the recording and reconstruction of the interferogram. A phase difference is imposed between the reference beams on reconstruction through polarization elements. The interferogram is viewed through a polarizer to recombine the images. The fractional fringe order is obtained from the angle through which the polarizer is rotated to shift the adjacent fringe to the point of interest.     

Improved formula of wavefront reconstruction from a radial shearing interferogram

A radial shearing (RS) interferogram obtained by the carrier fringe method is essentially the combination of radial and lateral shearing. The previous phase reconstruction algorithm neglects the effect of lateral shearing on the obtained RS interferogram. A mathematical formula for wavefront reconstruction from an RS interferogram is deduced. If the phase difference of the tested wavefront phase, the RS ratio s, and the laterally sheared amount x(0) in the x direction and y(0) in the y direction, respectively, have been determined, the tested wavefront phase can be precisely reconstructed using this formula. The result of simulation analysis and experiment shows that the formula is correct and more accurate.     

空间调制傅里叶变换光谱仪分束器色散特性研究

在基于多级微反射镜的傅里叶变换光谱仪中,由于分束器的色散特性, 不同波长的干涉图具有不同的横向偏移量,其在横向空间会发生混叠. 同时,不同波长的干涉图还具有不同的光程差偏移量,使其在纵向空间也会发生混叠. 根据几何光学原理,干涉图的横向混叠会减小干涉图元的有效面积. 计算表明,本研究中干涉图元的横向混叠面积为总面积的3.4%, 通过数据处理扣除混叠部分可以消除横向混叠的影响. 干涉图的纵向混叠会产生一个附加的相位延迟,削弱谱线的强度. 经分析,附加相位延迟与分束器和补偿板之间的厚度差成正比. 本文给出了发生对比度反转时分束器与补偿板厚度差的极限值, 并利用解线性方程组的方法对纵向混叠的干涉图进行了校正, 反演出的光谱与理想光谱的标准偏差仅为1.76×10^-14.     

光纤傅里叶变换光谱仪干涉图的对称化处理

偏离中心条纹的抽样以及光纤干涉仪的缺陷引起光纤傅里叶变换光谱仪(FFTS)输出的干涉图不对称,导致由傅里叶余弦变换计算得到的光谱带有相位误差,影响光谱的线型。文章首次将卷积方法应用到光纤傅里叶变换光谱仪中干涉图的对称化处理,利用干涉图的中心部分计算出相位误差,通过傅里叶变换得到了对称化处理函数,用卷积运算在时域完成了光谱的相位误差校正。实验研究表明,在FFTS中该方法能在时域有效地实现干涉图对称化,校正了光谱的相位误差。该方法不仅克服了双边干涉图的缺点,而且校正的结果有较高的准确度。     

Demodulation of a single-image interferogram using a Zernike-polynomial-based phase-fitting technique with a differential evolution algorithm

We propose a simple and robust polynomial-based phase-fitting (PPF) technique for single interferogram demodulation. Based on the smoothness assumption, the method employs a set of Zernike polynomials (ZPs) to fit the phase and estimates the expansion coefficients using a global optimization algorithm, i.e., differential evolution. The fitting order of the ZPs and the bounds of the coefficients can be intuitively determined according to the shape and number of fringes of the interferogram. Different from classical methods that need predefined scanning paths to guide the phase estimator, the PPF demodulates an interferogram globally and is insensitive to local defects, which allows it to deal with very noisy interferograms. Moreover, as the PPF gives the reconstructed phase by use of the ZPs, no further phase-unwrapping or wavefront-fitting procedures are needed. Experimental results have demonstrated the robustness and effectiveness of the method.

Enhancing the phase profile and contrast of an interferogram by polarization recording in bacteriorhodopsin

Interferometry is a technique for reconstructing the profiles of phase objects. We present a novel interferometric setup for generating interferograms with doubled phase profile and enhanced contrast compared with the standard interferogram. The proposed system consists of a two-beam interferometer in which the reference and test waves are circularly polarized orthogonally to each other. They are superposed upon a bacteriorhodopsin film, creating a polarization grating that is distorted by the phase of the test object. This polarization pattern is read by a polarized He-Ne beam. We show analytically and experimentally that, when the zero diffraction order is removed, an interferogram with doubled phase profile and enhanced contrast is obtained.     

基于插值法波面拟合的球面光学元件检测

为了实现在线自动化检测球面光学镜片的面形偏差,在已有的光学检测系统基础上,对光学检测系统采集的干涉图样进行图像处理和波面拟合算法研究。首先对干涉图样预处理,再根据球面光学镜片大多是圆形孔径,对预处理后的干涉条纹通过最小二乘法拟合出干涉图样的圆边界,确定数据取值边界点的中心和半径值;然后采用Multi-quadric函数插值法拟合出波面的面形轮廓,计算波面的峰谷偏差EPV值及均方根偏差ERMS值;最后用上述方法对Zygo干涉仪采集的干涉图的处理结果与Zygo干涉仪测试结果进行比较分析。结果表明:通过边界处理可有效提高波面拟合精度,采用multi-quadric函数插值法拟合可以理想的还原出波面,且测量误差与国标相比能够控制在0.2的误差范围内,与Zygo干涉仪检测结果相比可以控制在0.03误差范围内,都能够满足球面光学镜片在线检测的精度要求。     

量化对干涉成像仪复原光谱幅值不确定度的影响

推导并分析了干涉图量化对干涉成像光谱仪复原光谱幅值的影响。结果表明,复原光谱幅值的不确定度受量化条件的影响。在确定了干涉图采样点数后,干涉成像光谱仪复原光谱幅值的不确定度与A/D转换器的量化步长成正比;在固定了量化步长后,不确定度随干涉图采样点数的增加而增大;由干涉图量化引起的复原光谱幅值不确定度的大小还与在实际算法中选取的切趾函数形式有关。     

Accurate carrier-removal technique based on zero padding in Fourier transform method for carrier interferogram analysis

Based on interferogram zero padding and fast Fourier transform (FFT) methods, an effective, straightforward and stable carrier-removal approach in Fourier transform (FT) based method for carrier interferogram analysis is proposed. The spatial carrier interferogram is firstly extrapolated by zero padding method, and the carrier-frequency values within a small fraction of an integral (or a pixel) are estimated from the extrapolation interferogram with FFT method. Then the carrier-phase component is removed by subtracting a pure carrier-frequency phase constructed by the estimated carrier-frequencies in the spatial domain. Numerical simulations and experiments are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method and the results show that the proposed method is effective and stable for suppressing the carrier-removal error in the FT method for carrier interferogram analysis.     

Impact of scene changes during data acquisition in Fourier spectroscopy

The impact of changes of the spectral radiance in a Fourier transform spectrometer's field of view (FOV) during recording time of an interferogram is examined. Particularly systematic changes, with a time constant which is in the order of the time required to record one interferogram, are of interest here. Both an analytic and a simulative approach is made to examine the impact on the measured spectrum. Airborne measurements of fire scenes are a typical example where changes of spectral radiance during data acquisition time are inevitable. In such cases, flight velocity causes the scene in the spectrometer's FOV to change continuously, and the scene elements (fire, for example) might be expected to be dynamical even by themselves.     

Resolving the complex conjugate ambiguity in Fourier-domain OCT by harmonic lock-in detection of the spectral interferogram

A method of resolving the complex conjugate ambiguity in Fourier-domain OCT is described. The complex differential spectral interferogram is obtained by simultaneous acquisition of the first and second harmonics of the ac component of the phase-modulated interferogram. The harmonics represent the imaginary and real parts of the interferogram, respectively. The complex conjugate rejection ratio is found to be at least 45 dB and is limited by background noise.     

Investigation of a dual-layer structure using vertical scanning interferometry

This paper proposes a method based on white light vertical scanning interferometry (VSI) to investigate a dual-layer structure. The optical arrangement is based on a modified Michelson interferometer that utilizes a reference beam and two object beams. Each object beam interferes with the reference beam and produces an interferogram. A series of interferograms are obtained on a dual-layer structure and the thickness of each layer is obtained. A continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is used to extract the envelope of each interferogram in order to determine the peak intensity that provides an indication of each layer's boundary. Tests are conducted on a semiconductor wafer and a micro-gear made of polymeric material deposited on a metal substrate. Results show that the proposed method has a good potential for investigating a dual-layer micro-structure.
