Recently, it has become necessary to detect cracks in structures such as buildings and bridges. Phase-shifting digital holography is one valuable method that can be used to measure the strain distribution on the surface of an object. However, to simplify the optical measurement setup, more compact equipment is required. An interferometric trigger method with dual piezo actuators for phase shifting is proposed. This method is useful for designing a head discrete-type measurement system that uses phase-shifting digital holography with multiple imaging sensors. The ability to phase shift using the proposed trigger method was confirmed with the reconstruction of an object and an experiment that was performed to measure the displacement distribution.
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.
