Description

Instantaneous phase-shift transverse shear interferometer
Technical field:
The present invention relates to the optical interferometry Instrument technology field, be specifically related to a kind of phase-shift transverse shear interferometer, particularly a kind of instantaneous phase-shift transverse shear interferometer.
Background technology:
The lateral shearing interference method is by certain optical-mechanical system, and wavefront to be measured is divided into identical two bundles wavefront to be measured, and the two bundles wavefront to be measured of formation spatially produces certain displacement.The lateral shear The Application of Technology, the systematic error of having been introduced when having avoided in optical interference adopting before the standard wave.Lateral shearing interference is the structure of simplified measurement system to a certain extent, reduces the accuracy requirement of optical element in the test macro, also improves the measuring accuracy of system to a certain extent.In the lateral shear instrument, introduce phase-shifting technique and form phase-shift transverse shear interferometer and can further improve performance, can realize the robotization of processing procedure of interferogram and the reconstruct of wavefront distributed in three dimensions etc.
In existing phase-shift transverse shear interferometer, often adopt the optical path difference between the PZT change interference light, realize the phase shift of measuring system.But in the implementation procedure of phase shift, PZT needs some mechanical motions to guarantee, and the realization of phase shift be according to the regular hour in sequence.Because the phase shift process realizes that in time domain measurement result must be subjected to the influence of external environment.Simultaneously, because forming the two-beam of interfering is by beam splitter prism or the beam splitting of spectroscope shape, shear history and phase shift process realize that by optical-mechanical system therefore, the otherness of the optical element that two-beam passes through after the beam splitting will influence the measuring accuracy of system to a certain extent respectively in two-beam.Prior art has provided some following phase-shift transverse shear interferometers that differ from one another, and is described below respectively:
A kind of phase-shift transverse shear interferometer (Devon W.Griffin. " Phase-shifting interferometer " .Optics Letter that adopts simple shear to cut element, Vol.26, No.3,140-141,2001), it as phase-shifting element, realizes different phase-shift phase by changing control voltage with liquid crystal.This kind apparatus structure is simple, but obtaining in time domain of its multi-frame interferometry figure carry out, and the influence of environment is relatively more responsive to external world.
A kind of single wedge is as phase-shift transverse shear interferometer (the Jae Bong Song of shearing elements, etc, " Simple phase-shifting method in a wedge-plate lateral-shearing interferometer " .Applied Optics, Vol.43, No.20,3989-3992,2004), move wedge by translation in surface level and produce phase shift, phase shifting accuracy is higher.But the realization of its phase shift needs mechanical moving element, and is very high to the accuracy requirement of moving component, and obtaining in time domain of multi-frame interferometry figure carry out, and the influence of environment is relatively more responsive to external world.
In patent " phase shifting lateral direction shearing interferometer (200710045147.2) ", in " polarization phase shift double-shear interference wave surface measuring instrument and detection method (200710047254.9) thereof " and " the polarization phase shift double-shear interference wave surface measuring instrument (200720075604.8) " a kind of polarization phase shift double-shear interference wave surface measuring instrument and detection method thereof have been described, it forms Phase Shifting System by the analyzer of fixing wave plate and rotation, realizes shearing by two parallel flats.This instrument is very high for the positioning accuracy request of parallel flat, and realizes phase shift by certain mechanical motion mechanism, and therefore, obtaining in time domain of multi-frame interferometry figure finished, and is relatively more responsive to the variation of system environments.
