This study proposes a method for measuring curved-mechanical characteristics based on a whole-folding test for transparent conductive film-coated polymer substrates using common-path optical interferometry. Accordingly, 80-, 160-, and 230-nm indium t...
The dielectric thin-film coating on high-power optical components is often the weakest region and will fail at elevated optical fluences. A comparison of single-layer coatings of ZrO2, LiF, Ta2O5, SiN, and SiO2 along with anti-reflection (AR) coatings o...
We report a novel fully real-time automatized optomechatronic dual-aperture common-path interferometer system for obtaining the phase difference between two interferograms by using the technique of phase-shifting interferometry. A motorized system is...
We implemented the common-path achromatic interfero-coronagraph both for the wavefront sensing and the on-axis image component suppression, aiming for the stellar coronagraphy. A common-path achromatic interfero-coronagraph has its optical scheme bas...
Absorption losses and laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) are considered to be the major constraints for development of optical coatings for high-power laser optics. Such coatings require paramount properties, such as low losses due to optical abso...
We demonstrate measurements of the absorption coefficient α ≈ 2.5 × 10−7 cm−1 in synthetic crystalline quartz at a wavelength of 1071 nm with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10/1 using the Time-resolved photothermal common-pa...
Traditional Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometry, insensitive to photons phase mismatch, proved to be a rugged single-photon interferometric technique. By introducing a post-beam splitter polarization-dependent delay, it is possible to recover phase-s...
Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is extensively utilized for the 3D measurement of various specimens. However, traditional FPP typically requires at least three phase-shifted fringe patterns to achieve a high-quality phase map. In this study, we...
We demonstrate the generation of a space-variant vector beam with catenary-shaped polarization states based on the polarization interferometry. With a spatial light modulator and a common path interferometric configuration, two orthogonally circularl...
Tilt-to-length (TTL) coupling noise arises from angular misalignments of interfering beams in optical path length (OPL) measurements and significantly impacts the accuracy of interferometry measurement systems. This paper focuses on geometric TTL cou...
The pinhole plate is a key component of the point diffraction interferometer (PDI). The reasonable improvement and simulation of this device would enhance the application of point diffraction interferometry technology during the measurement of wavefr...
In this work, we demonstrate spectral phase-shift interferometry operating in the near-infrared wavelength range for refractive index (RI) monitoring of fluidic samples in micro-capillaries. A detailed theoretical model was developed to calculate the...
