Signal processing scheme for central position identification in a white-light interferometric system with a dual wavelength source

A signal processing scheme using a curve fitting algorithm to determine the central position of the digitized fringe pattern output of a white light interferometric (WLI) system is discussed. An analytic result for the resolution obtained in the central fringe position measurement using a specific curve fitting scheme has been given and a simulation of the measurement of the central position of a computer generated fringe pattern has been carried out. The results from the simulation show good agreement with those from the theoretical analysis. A supporting experiment to investigate this effect has also been carried out and the short term repeatability of the central position measurement using the curve fitting scheme gives close agreement with the theoretical results.     

Long-gauge length embedded fiber optic ultrasonic sensor for large-scale concrete structures

A fiber optic ultrasonic sensor based on Fizeau interferometer has been developed and demonstrated. A helium–neon laser light source with wavelength 0.6328 μm is used in our experiment. A special feature is its Fizeau configuration, which enables one to eliminate much undesirable noise by combining both the reference arm and the sensing arm within the same length of fiber. The dynamic response model of photo-elastic effect of ultrasonic wave and optical fiber is established. The fiber optic ultrasonic sensor experimental results are obtained and compared with the convenient PZT transducer.     

An extrapolation procedure to obtain the total fringe number from Gouy fringe pattern data

A rapid new procedure is described for getting the total number of fringes J from Gouy fringe pattern data. This PQ method is exact and the results excellent (within 0.01–0.03 fringe) for ideal systems (_j=0 for all j, Q₀=0). Such systems include most binaries; for these, the diffusion coefficient is either constant or a polynomial function of concentration with small concentration differences. For multicomponent systems and some binaries, Q₀ can be significantly different from 0. In these cases, the PQ method unambiguously gives the integer number of fringes. If in addition Q₀/Q₁ is larger than 2.0, then J obtained from a second extrapolation procedure is also good.

Experimental observation of a strange temporal oscillation of X‐ray Pendellösung fringes

As a strange property not explained by existing theories, it has been known from experiment that X‐ray moiré and Pendellösung interference fringes show a small spatial oscillation in the beam path in free space that the diffraction image carrying those fringes is propagated after emerging from the crystal. In connection with the investigation into this strange fringe oscillation, it has been found, by an experiment successively recording Pendellösung‐fringe topographs using an X‐ray CCD camera, that X‐ray Pendellösung fringes also show a small temporal oscillation. Characteristics of this temporal Pendellösung‐fringe oscillation, namely irregularities in the fringe profile, the manner of fringe oscillation and a reciprocal correlation between oscillation amplitude and fringe contrast, are shown to be very similar to those of the previously reported spatial oscillation of moiré and Pendellösung fringes. Therefore this temporal oscillation is supposed to have the same origin as the spatial oscillation, revealing another section of the same phenomenon. This discovery of the temporal oscillation advances a step nearer to the full understanding of this strange phenomenon, while disclosing a new property of Pendellösung fringes. As well as the above, a three‐dimensional profile representation (surface plot) is given of the image of Pendellösung fringes, to make it clear that unidentified fine intensity modulations, called subfringes in this paper, are produced superposed on the main fringe system. Overall inspection of the intensity profiles of the fringe‐imaged topographs suggests that temporal intensity oscillations also occur on a more global scale than the extension of individual fringes, as an unidentified action of the wavefield.     

The use of a diode laser in an ESPI system

The use of a diode laser in an ESPI system is reported. These lasers have considerable potential advantages over gas lasers in terms of convenience, cost and lifetimes, and may eventually replace the latter in this type of instrument.     

Study on an improved five-interferogram phase-shifting algorithm

Using traditional five-interferogram algorithm to unwrap phase for length measurement, the phase steps must be equal to π/2 exactly, but it is almost impossible to achieve in nanometer positioning technique.Aiming to overcome this defect of traditional five-interferogram algorithm, an improved five-interferogram algorithm is presented.This improved algorithm not only keeps the high accuracy of traditional five-interferogram algorithm, but also does not need absolute equal step to unwrap phase.Instead, this algorithm only needs measuring phase-shifting.With the numerical simulation, the improved five-interferogram algorithm shows high accuracy, high reliability, and feasibility in practice.It is very valuable for accurate length measurement with Fizeau interferometer and Fabry-Perot interferometer.
