Algorithms of the phase-shifting interferometer via wavelength tuning

This paper describes the basic principle of wavelength scanning interferometer and analyzes its characteristics. Their merits and application fields are shown by comparing wavelength scanning interferometer with conventional hardware phase-shifting interferometer. For tunable semiconductor laser from American New Focus Company as example, hardware of realizing wavelength tuning is depicted simply. Algorithms of wavelength scanning interferometer are divided into three kinds: weighted multi-step phase shifting algorithm, the algorithm based on Fourier-transform technique and multi-wavelength algorithm. Their merits and application areas are pointed out through narrating and analyzing them in detial. Furthermore, a new algorithm based on Fourier-transform technique combining with different calculations is proposed, which is suitable to measure steps. The new algorithm overcomes the disadvantages of old one needing datum reference and plane of reference, increasing this algorithm's utility.
