Methods of contrast increasing of the interference patterns in digital holographic interferometry by numerical linear phase modulation and interpolation post-processing of digital focused-image holograms are discussed. It is shown that the linear phase modulation of the hologram leads to a shift of the object field spatial spectrum, whereas the step-in-interpolation procedure of the holograms leads to a broader spatial spectrum of the hologram. In both cases it becomes possible to separate an extended frequency range of the restored object field and, thus, significantly reduce the speckle size in the reconstructed object image, also increasing the fringe contrast in the holographic interferograms. The effectiveness of the methods is shown for holographic interferograms of the elastic deformation of a metallic membrane that is rigidly fixed on the contour.
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.
