Abstract

Parallel on-axis two-step phase-shifting reflective point-diffraction interferometry for holographic phase microscopy based on Michelson architecture is proposed. A cube beamsplitter splits the object wave into two copies within the two arms. The reference wave is rebuilt by low-pass filtering with a pinhole-masked mirror. Both object and reference waves are split into two beams by a grating in a 4f imaging system; thus, two interferograms with quadrature phase-shift can be acquired simultaneously with the aid of polarization elements. The approach has the merit of nanometers-scale phase stability over hours due to its quasi-common-path geometry. It can make full use of camera spatial bandwidth while its temporal resolution is as fast as the camera frame rate. Phase imaging on microscale specimen is implemented, and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is suitable for investigating dynamic processes.
