Fig. 6.1: σ d for various ESPI measurements <strong>of</strong> out-<strong>of</strong>-plane displacements by SPS <strong>and</strong> TPS as a function <strong>of</strong> B. All<br />

measurements were done with N x =10 <strong>and</strong> N y =0.<br />

Besides <strong>the</strong> variation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> beam ratio, <strong>the</strong>re is ano<strong>the</strong>r possibility <strong>of</strong> reducing σ d : <strong>the</strong> individual speckle<br />

intensities can be accounted for in a modified phase calculation formula. This approach is described in<br />

detail in 6.2.1, where also <strong>the</strong> curves for "SPS with (modified) intensity correction" in Fig. 6.1 will be<br />

explained. For a discussion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Fourier transform method (FTM), see 6.5.<br />

6.1.2 <strong>Phase</strong> shift<br />

In Chapter 3.2.2 we have considered <strong>the</strong> spectral transfer properties <strong>of</strong> phase-shifting formulae <strong>and</strong><br />

discussed some points that are relevant for <strong>the</strong>ir application to signals with a broad spectrum. In Chapter<br />

5.2.1, we collected some preliminary evidence that α x =90°/sample should be <strong>the</strong> better choice. Since it is<br />

now our aim to get <strong>the</strong> best possible performance from SPS, we investigate this issue in more detail by<br />

experiment <strong>and</strong> carry out <strong>the</strong> same kind <strong>of</strong> comparison that we did for SPS <strong>and</strong> TPS. The results are<br />

shown in Fig. 6.2, where <strong>the</strong> left part is <strong>the</strong> same plot as Fig. 5.5.
