RT Journal Article T1 Two-step self-tuning phase-shifting interferometry A1 Quiroga Mellado, Juan Antonio A1 Vargas Balbuena, Javier A1 Belenguer Dávila, Tomás A1 Servín Guirado, Manuel A1 Estrada, Julio César AB A two-step self-tuning phase-shifting method is presented. The phase-step between the two interferograms is not known when the experiment is performed. Our demodulating method finds, in a robust way, this unknown phase-step. Once the phase-step is estimated we proceed to phase demodulate the interferograms. Moreover our method only requires the fringe patterns to have a constant unknown phase-shift between them. As a consequence, this technique can be used to demodulate open and closed-fringed patterns without phase-sign ambiguity. The method may be regarded as a self-tuning quadrature filter, which determines the phase-shift between the two fringe patterns and finally estimates the demodulated phase map. The proposed technique has been tested with simulated and real interferograms obtaining satisfactory results.
