Abstract
In this study, a simultaneous dual-wavelength phase-shifting interferometry system using two reference arms was built, and a simple phase retrieval method for the system with blind phase shifts was proposed using five phase-shifted interferograms. First, the unknown phase shifts were controlled independently to separate the information of single wavelength, which can be calculated directly by using the Euclidean matrix norm algorithm. Second, a wrapped phase of a single wavelength was obtained using a three-step phase-shifting algorithm. Finally, a continuous phase of a synthetic wavelength was obtained. The simulation and experimental results indicated the feasibility and greater accuracy of the proposed method. Moreover, the strict requirement of the phase shifter was eliminated because of the use of arbitrary and unknown phase shifts, thereby making experimental operation easier.
