ABSTRACT
Our research introduces a design for a polarization phase-shifting white light interferometric system (PPS-WLIS) that operates in a transmissive mode for measuring the slope phase of transparent objects. It comprises a cyclic path interferometer (lateral shear interferometer) coupled with a multiplexing Michelson interferometer. The system uses polarization to produce two parallel interferograms with polarization modulated with relative shifts simultaneously. To determine the optical phase, we used a two-step algorithm for phase demodulation that does not necessitate precise phase shifts, making the system more straightforward to operate. As a result, we could observe variations in the object associated with optical phase changes. Furthermore, our method simplifies the phase-shift interferometry process by requiring only one capture, making it an effective way to examine objects at dynamic events. As an illustration, we demonstrated the temperature measurement generated by a section of a candle flame.
