The possibilities of stabilization of the interference pattern by filtration of a random-phase noise caused by vibrations, turbulence, and other local changes in the wave front in interferometric measurements are investigated. Dynamic holographic recording in photorefractive Bi(12)TiO(20) crystals is used. The parameters of the holographic recording are presented for determination of the dynamic range for filtering. Noise filtering takes place in real time and contributes to the enhancement of the contrast and the signal-to-noise ratio of the interference pattern. This results in a considerable increase in the sensitivity and the accuracy of the interferometric measurements.
The applicability of cubic photorefractive crystals in which the recording can be fixed to holographic interferometric studies of microobjects is outlined. The possibility of observing the temporal behavior of the object by a method combining double exposure and real time interferometry is experimentally demonstrated.
The reversibility of holographic recording in photorefractive crystals is employed for filtering the variable noise during recording. This effect is demonstrated by the observation of phase microobjects in a medium with moving particles and fluid flows. The signal-to-noise ratio enhancement is also shown in various methods of holographic interferometry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
