Abstract

A simultaneous phase-shifting Twyman interferometer with a point source array is proposed. We use a point source in combination with a grating and select the four (±1,±1) diffraction orders to generate a point source array. With this configuration, we can acquire four independent Twyman interferometers. Adjust the offset amounts of each point source to introduce different phase shifts in the interferograms, and realize dynamic measurement. We introduce 0, π/2, π, and 3π/2 in the interferograms. The initial phase will be exactly retrieved by employing the four-bucket algorithm. The experimental results show the feasibility and precision of the interferometer.
