Abstract

See full text

A technique is described for extending the measurement range of interferometry past the Nyquist limit of the sampling frequency of the interferogram. The absolute phase values measured by an interferometer are reconstructed by applying constraints based upon a priori knowledge of the absolute phase values. The constraints include the knowledge that one or more derivatives of the spatial distribution of phase values is a continuous function, and the knowledge of step heights to within .lambda./2.
