Abstract
Analysis of closed-fringe patterns with quadratic phase that are often encountered plays an important role in optical interferometry. But because the frequency spectra of the two exponential signals that compose closed-fringe patterns overlap in the Fourier domain while one is clearly distinct from the other in the fractional Fourier domain, fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is a useful method for analyzing the images to provide parameter estimation. However, when the fringe pattern has varying background and/or modulation due to non-uniform illumination, parameter estimation accuracy based on FRFT is affected, which lacks theoretical justification. Thus, the impact of varying background and/or modulation on the FRFT is studied with theoretic analysis and presented in this paper. Key factors that contribute to the optimal results are discussed when employing three kinds of fringe normalization methods to eliminate the impact. Here, the fringe pattern is first processed by the normalization technique. Then the cosine-only term is used to estimate parameter by use of the FRFT-based method. Physical quantities are then obtained by parameter estimation. In comparison with our previous method based on FRFT, more accurate results are achieved. The feasibility and applicability of the proposed approach are demonstrated using simulation and experimental results.
