Susceptibility of systematic error-compensating algorithms to random noise in phase-shifting interferometry: erratum

摘要

Figure 3 in Ref. 1 should be revised so that the root sum squares for quadratic phase-shift errors (p= 2) with even j are changed. The vibration of the root sum squares for the quadratic phase-shift errors that was pointed out in Ref. I is no longer observed. The conclusion that the root sum squares decrease and approach zero for large j is unaffected by this correction. # 1997 Optical Society of America
