Design and implementation of an electromechanical gear system for optimization of automatic phase-shifting of a Dual Aperture Common-Path Interferometer

AbstractIn this work, we report experimental results of a proposed gear system for optimization of phase shifts used for extraction of phase between a reference and a test object in a Double Aperture Common Path Interferometer. The electromechanical approach is designed to increase the precision and...

description AbstractIn this work, we report experimental results of a proposed gear system for optimization of phase shifts used for extraction of phase between a reference and a test object in a Double Aperture Common Path Interferometer. The electromechanical approach is designed to increase the precision and control of automated transverse translation of a diffraction grating to obtain equidistant displacements, typically carried out manually. Calculations and analytics for the design and operation of the mechanical gear system are presented. The experimental results demonstrate significant error minimizing for equally spaced phase shifts compared to a previously reported implementation of our research group. The proposed system represents a reliable and low-cost implementation to improve the obtaining of suitable interferogram captures for equally spaced phase-shifting interferometry techniques.
