In optics, when interferograms or digital holograms are recorded and their phase is recovered, it is common to obtain a wrapped phase with some errors, noise and artifacts such as singularities due to the non linearities of the demodulation process. This paper shows how to reconstruct the frequency field of the wrapped phase by using adaptive Gabor...

We show how a sinusoidal fringe pattern can be obtained by using a single cube beam splitter based on the Gates' interferometer configuration. When an expanded and collimated laser beam hits the binding edge of a nonpolarizing cube beam splitter parallel to the splitter coating, it generates interference fringes at the exit due to the internal refl...

In optical interferometry, noise and distortions in the recovered wrapped phase are very common, and their nature is inherent to the quality and visibility of the fringe patterns that modulate the phase. Filtering these phase imperfections from the wrapped phase is not straightforward since we cannot directly apply filters without damaging their in...

We propose an interesting linear method to remove the detuning distortions from the wrapped phase. This method, takes the local frequencies as a priori knowledge from the wrapped phase and uses an iterative approach to refine the wrapped phase.

The most known and used phase shifting interferometry (PSI) demodulation methods are one-dimensional temporal linear systems. These methods use the information of the interferogram sequence at a single pixel to recover the modulating phase. Accordingly, scanning all pixels, we obtain the two-dimensional (2-D) modulated phase sought. As PSI demodula...

Optical interferometers are very sensitive when environment perturbations affect its optical path. The wavefront under test is not static at all. In this paper, it is proposed a novel and robust phase-shifting demodulation method. This method estimates the interferogram's phase-shifting locally, reducing detuning errors due to environment perturbat...

In this work, we develop a regularization technique to demodulate a phase-shifting interferogram sequence with arbitrary inter-frame phase shifts. With this method, we can recover the modulating phase and inter-frame phase shifts in the same process. As all phase-shifting algorithms, the assumption is that the wavefront under test does not change o...

Recently a new type of spatial phase shifting interferometer was proposed that uses a phase-mask over the camera's pixels. This new interferometer allows one to phase modulate each pixel independently by setting the angle of a linear polarizer built in contact over the camera's CCD. In this way neighbor pixels may have any desired (however fixed) p...
