Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of phase-shift digital holographic measurement and relates to a holographic measurement device and method, and in particular relates to a phase-shift digital holographic measurement device and method based on electro-optical modulation. Background Art

[0002] Phase-shift digital holography introduces phase-shift technology into digital holography. It not only makes full use of the spatial bandwidth product of the image sensor, but also has the advantages of high resolution, non-contact, and label-free quantitative phase imaging. It is widely used in technical fields such as three-dimensional surface morphology measurement and biological detection.

[0003] The measurement accuracy of phase-shift digital holography is limited by the phase shift accuracy of the phase shifter. Commonly used time phase shift methods include piezoelectric ceramic drive method, polarization phase shift method and acousto-optic modulation phase shift method. The piezoelectric ceramic drive method uses a piezoelectric ceramic driver to drive the reflector in the reference light path to achieve phase shift. It has the advantages of high step accuracy and convenient operation. However, the hysteresis nonlinearity of the piezoelectric drive will lead to a large phase shift error. In addition, the piezoelectric drive phase shift will cause the obliquely incident reference beam to produce lateral movement, thereby affecting the consistency of the multi-step phase shift hologram. The polarization phase shift method uses a combination of polarizers and wave plates to change the polarization state of the light beam by rotating the polarizer or wave plate to achieve phase shift. It has the advantages of simple structure and low cost, but the limited rotation accuracy of the polarizer or wave plate will make it impossible to achieve high-precision phase shift. The acousto-optic modulation phase shift method achieves phase shift by controlling the frequency difference of the two acousto-optic modulators and the CCD frame rate. It has the advantages of high phase shift accuracy and fast speed, but it requires precise control of the CCD exposure time, phase shift device and adjustment control are relatively complex.
