Modified Fourier transform method for interferogram fringe pattern analysis.
A modified Fourier transform method for interferogram fringe pattern analysis is proposed. While it retains most of the advantages of the Fourier transform method, the new method overcomes some drawbacks of the previous method. It eliminates the assumptions of slowly varying phase variation in the test section and the constant spatial carrier frequency. It also extends the frequency bandwidth and avoids phase distortion caused by discreteness of the sampling frequency. Both numerical simulation and experimental examination are performed to evaluate the performance of the method.
