ESPI is a well-established technique for measuring displacement of rough surface. The possibility of using ESPI on the displacement measurement of specular surface was discussed theoretically in this paper. We described how a modified Michelson interferometer was accommodated to realize this technique.Intensity based fringe analysis was adopted for image processing of speckle grams. Experiment results of using this technique on flat specular surfaces were presented.
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.
