New paper in Frontiers in Physics showing SLM self phase-shift interferometry of structured light
A new paper has been published in Frontiers in Physics entitled Phase-shifting common-path polarization self-interferometry for evaluating the reconstruction of holograms displayed on a phase-only display.
Here we demonstrate a technique to perform phase-shift interferometry of structured light. The interesting aspect is that the same SLM system used to generate the structured light is used, without no need of any additional element, to perform the phase-shift interferometry. A simple rotation of a polarizer transforms the system from the standard phase-modulation regime to the common-path polarization interferometer.
