The light source 1 is located on the object focal plane of the collimator lens 2, a divergent light beam emitted by the light source 1 passes through the collimator lens 2 and then becomes a parallel light beam, and the beam splitter 3 is located in the parallel light beam and divides the parallel light beam into two coherent light beams with equal intensity. The transverse step phase mirror 4 and the longitudinal step phase mirror 5 are located at the exit pupil positions of the collimator mirror in the two perpendicular optical paths reflected and transmitted by the beam splitter, respectively, and are in mirror image positions with respect to the beam splitter 3.
The light field reflected by the beam splitter 3 is incident on the transverse step phase reflector 4, and the light field transmitted by the beam splitter 3 is incident on the longitudinal step phase reflector 5. the step arrangement of the transverse step phase reflector 4 and the longitudinal step phase reflector 5 is mirror-orthogonal relative to the beam splitter 3, so that the incident light field is divided into a plurality of localized light field units, and each light field units correspond to row reflector units on the transverse step phase reflector 4 and column reflector units on the longitudinal step phase reflector 5.
The transverse step phase reflector 4 introduces a longitudinally distributed phase modulation amount to the incident light field, and the longitudinal step phase reflector 5 introduces a transversely distributed phase modulation amount to the incident light field.
Since each row mirror unit on the transverse step phase mirror 4 corresponds to phase modulation amounts and each column mirror unit on the longitudinal step phase mirror 5 corresponds to phase modulation amounts, when the transverse step phase mirror 4 interferes with the light field reflected by the longitudinal step phase mirror 5, the interference light field corresponding to each row mirror unit on the transverse step phase mirror 4 and each column mirror unit on the longitudinal step phase mirror 5 has phase difference values, therefore, the emergent light field is an interference light field array with spatial phase difference distribution, and each interference light field unit corresponds to phase difference values.
When a optical switch units on the optical switch array 6 are in an open circuit state, the interference optical field units corresponding to the optical switch units are allowed to pass through and are received by the point detector 8 through the focusing mirror 7, so that each interference optical field unit in the interference optical field array sequentially opens and closes according to a spatial phase difference arrangement sequence, each interference optical field unit in the interference optical field array sequentially passes through the optical switch array 6 according to the phase difference sequence, and each interference optical field unit in the interference optical field array sequentially passes through the focusing mirror 7 and is sequentially received by the point detector 8 through the focusing mirror 7, and the interference optical field array is converged by the focusing mirror 7 to be sequentially received on the point detector 8, so that an interference light intensity sampling sequence is obtained.

And the opening and closing of the corresponding optical switch units on the optical switch array are sequentially controlled according to the spatial distribution sequence of the phase differences in the interference optical field array, so that each interference optical field unit in the interference optical field array sequentially passes through the optical switch array according to the sequence of the phase differences and is converged to the point detector 8 by the focusing mirror 7 to be sequentially received.
In this embodiment, the transverse step phase mirror 4 and the longitudinal step phase mirror 5 are located at mirror positions corresponding to the beam splitter 3, and a certain row mirror unit of the transverse step phase mirror 4 is overlapped with a certain column mirror unit of the longitudinal step phase mirror 5 in a mirror image manner, the transverse step phase mirror 4 and the longitudinal step phase mirror 5 are both composed of a plurality of mirror units, each mirror units correspond to thickness values, and the mirror units with different thicknesses are sequentially arranged into a step structure.

In order to realize effective sampling of the interference pattern, the thickness h of the reflector unit is required to be less than or equal to lambda/4.
The wave number of incident light is set to be nu, the phase modulation amount introduced by the 1 st line reflector unit 4-2 to the light field incident thereon is 4 pi nu h, and the phase modulation amount introduced by the M-1 st line reflector unit to the light field incident thereon is 4 pi nu (M-1) h. Thus, the phase modulation of the light field by the transverse step phase mirror 4 can be expressed as

Thus, the 1 st column mirror unit introduces a phase modulation amount of 4 π ν Mh to the light field incident thereon, and the N-1 st column mirror unit introduces a phase modulation amount of 4 π ν (N-1) Mh to the light field incident thereon. The phase modulation of the light field by the longitudinal stepped phase mirror 5 can be expressed as

In order to enable the light field emitted by the optical switch array 6 and the light field detected by the point detector 8 to satisfy the fourier transform relationship for realizing the optimal reception, the optical switch array 6 is positioned on the object space focal plane of the focusing mirror 7, and the point detector 8 is positioned on the image space focal plane of the focusing mirror 7.
