Here we describe a co-phased 360-degree fringe-projection profilometer which uses 2-projectors and 1-camera and can digitize discontinuous solids with diffuse light surface. This is called co-phased because the two phase demodulated…
A phase-demodulation method for digital fringe-projection profilometry using the spatial and temporal Nyquist frequencies is presented. It allows us to digitize tridimensional surfaces using the highest spatial frequency ({\pi} radians per…

Optical interferometric imaging enables astronomical observation at extremely high angular resolution. The necessary optical information for imaging, such as the optical path differences and visibilities, is easy to extract from fringes…
Interferometric imaging is a well established method to image phase objects by mixing the image wavefront with a reference one on a CCD camera. It has also been applied to fast transient phenomena, mostly through the analysis of single…
Traditional phase-shifting interferometry technique cannot be used to measure time-varying phase distributions. But single shot techniques could resolve the problem. Many efforts have been made on the phase retrieval methods from a single…
An experimental technique is developed to simultaneously measure both temporal and spatial coherences of a light source by altering a standard Michelson interferometer, which has been primarily used for measuring temporal coherence only.…
Fluorescence microscopy is widely employed for the analysis of living biological samples; however, the utility of the resulting recordings is frequently constrained by noise, temporal variability, and inconsistent visualisation of signals…
Phase imaging techniques extract the optical path-length information of a scene, whereas wavefront sensors provide the shape of an optical wavefront. Since these two applications have different technical requirements, they have developed…
Optical diffraction tomography is an indispensable tool for studying objects in three-dimensions due to its ability to accurately reconstruct scattering objects. Until now this technique has been limited to coherent light because spatial…

Fringe tracking in interferometers is typically analyzed with the implicit assumption that there is a single phase associated with each telescope in the array. If the telescopes have apertures significantly larger than r0 and only partial…
