Three-dimensional dynamic measurement of unstable temperature fields by multi-view single-shot phase-shifting digital holography.

ABSTRACT

A multi-view phase measurement system based on single-shot phase-shifting digital holography is proposed to dynamically obtain three-dimensional (3-D) information of an unstable temperature field. The proposed system consists of a laser, three polarization imaging cameras, and the corresponding optical components. The laser beam emitted from the laser is separated by the fibers into three pairs that contain three object beams and three reference beams. The object beams pass through the object in three different directions and interfere with the reference beams at the image sensor plane respectively. The recording of the three cameras is triggered simultaneously, which enables the phase measurement of dynamic objects from different viewpoints. We successfully measured the 3-D distributions of an unstable temperature field in the experiments with the proposed system.
