6.5 Fourier transform method <strong>of</strong> phase determination 157<br />

Fig. 6.18: Interferogram power spectra for d s =2 d p <strong>and</strong> B=3 without (left) <strong>and</strong> with (right) speckle subtraction. The<br />

speckle halo is larger than <strong>the</strong> frequency plane; <strong>the</strong> attenuation <strong>of</strong> high horizontal frequencies is mostly<br />

due to <strong>the</strong> pixel clock (cf. 3.4.5). <strong>Spatial</strong> frequency scales are as in, e.g., Fig. 6.12 on <strong>the</strong> left.<br />

This approach eliminates <strong>the</strong> problem <strong>of</strong> growing overlap <strong>of</strong> speckle halo <strong>and</strong> signal b<strong>and</strong> with decreasing<br />

speckle size, so that a very large part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> frequency plane can now conveniently be utilised. Also, <strong>the</strong><br />

"crosstalk" <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sideb<strong>and</strong>s addressed in 6.1.2 (cf. Fig. 6.3) is avoided. The setting <strong>of</strong> ν x =ν y = ½ ν N ,<br />

chosen for convenience <strong>of</strong> phase sampling (cf. 6.3), also appears to be <strong>the</strong> optimum choice in frequency<br />

space: it has been used in [Küch91] for a high-performance interferometer, <strong>and</strong> a computer simulation in<br />

[Che91] showed it to yield <strong>the</strong> error minimum.<br />

The vacant regions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> frequency spectrum can even be used to record fur<strong>the</strong>r information [McLa86,<br />

Hor90, Sim93, Pir95, Ped97a, Ped97b, Tak97a, Tak97b, Sched99], e.g. about a second deformation<br />

direction; this approach has become popular under <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> spatial frequency multiplexing. Including<br />

time as a parameter enables spatio-temporal frequency multiplexing with one [Tak90a] or two [Tak92,<br />

Mor94b] spatial dimensions.<br />

The improvement <strong>of</strong> speckle subtraction over <strong>the</strong> non-correcting FTM for varying B is also shown in Fig.<br />

6.1 for d s =3 d p (black, white circle symbols). The behaviour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> correction is <strong>the</strong> same as for <strong>the</strong> phaseshifting<br />

method: <strong>the</strong> effect vanishes for B30.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> same interferograms as in Chapter 6.4 are processed by <strong>the</strong> FTM, again at B=30 without <strong>and</strong><br />

B=3 with <strong>the</strong> intensity correction, one comes to <strong>the</strong> results plotted in Fig. 6.19. To use a 10241024 pixel<br />

FFT, <strong>the</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ard input images consisting <strong>of</strong> 1024768 pixels were padded with zeros in <strong>the</strong> last 256<br />

rows. In a comparison <strong>of</strong> genuine 1024 2 pixel images processed entirely <strong>and</strong> partly, <strong>the</strong> difference in <strong>the</strong><br />

σ d values remained within 1%.
