“…͑3͒-͑6͔͒, to emphasize the presence of the phase step error, two four-frame algorithms using the frame sequences ͑1,3,4,5͒ and ͑1,2,3,5͒ were added. 24 These algorithms are characterized by several times increased sensitivity with respect to the phase step error when calculating the interferogram phase distribution. The algorithms describing the intensity modulation distribution using the frames ͑1,3,4,5͒ and ͑1,2,3,5͒, denoted by 4N1 mod and 4N2 mod , are as follows:…”
