Real-time digital holographic interferometry set-up for phase gradient study in dynamic phase objects using spatial light modulator

摘要

A fully digital experimental set-up for real-time digital acquisition and digital optical reconstruction of holographic sequences is presented: a He-Ne laser, a CCD camera and a Phase Only Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) area are part of the set-up. CCD registering and SLM projector are working simultaneously. Using a custom made software of our own, real-time Digital Holographic Interferometry (DHI) "fringe motion pictures" can be performed by subtracting consecutive frames from a reference one and instantly displaying the differences on the SLM illuminated with a playback wave. Phase variations of the objects can be visualized in real-time by observing the interference fringe pattern evolution.
