I come from ZYGO… • ZYGO makes interferometers • We measure – Distances – Form and spatial frequencies of optical parts – 3D structure of microscopic parts

Preamble…

• But we don’t do holography

Or do we?

Once upon a time, many years ago…

What made this “holography?”

• …I did an experiment in Holography

• I wasn’t really sure why this was holography, except that I got the idea from reading the book on holographic interferometry by C.M. Vest (1979)

ultrasound

• Challenge: Quantitatively record the ultrasonic standing waves in liquid nitrogen (77.3 K), and liquid helium-II (1.60 K)

• Ever since then I have wondered… what is holography, and how does it differ from interferometry?

• Solution: Time-averaged, off-axis holographic interferometry

This talk… • …is about interferometry and holography—how they are the same, and how they are different • Goal: Advance interferometric metrology using ideas from holography… and perhaps the other way around as well

What is Holography?

• I also hope to challenge your thinking, just a little bit, to encourage a more “holistic” view of these two closely-related techniques

A dictionary definition

8

©2016 Zygo Corporation and AMETEK, Inc.

Nope! A typical holography setup has lots of lenses • Here is a digital holographic microscope • There are many lenses, even a microscope objective • So the “no lens” part of the definition is not helpful

“…a photographic record produced by illuminating the object with coherent light (as from a laser) and, without using lenses, exposing a film to light reflected from this object and to a direct beam of coherent light”

• Perhaps the definition of “holography” is more general

Is this the secret? T. Colomb and J. Kühn, "Digital Holographic Microscopy," in Optical Measurement of Surface Topography, R. Leach, Ed. chapt.10, (Springer, Heidelberg, 2011).

Here’s one way to transform phase into intensity Film

“The basic principle of holography consists in the transformation of phase changes into recordable intensity changes”

Reference wave

OK well, here’s a simple tilt fringe interferometer

Wavefront phase is encoded in the tilt fringes • Historically, and even into the 1980’s, interference patterns were interpreted by hand or by computers, from the straightness of tilt fringes

And when we are done, what do we have?

• In interferometry, the object is usually simpler than a chess piece, nonetheless… • …both interferograms and holograms are complete, “holistic” representations of a wavefront frozen in time and space • Both have amplitude and phase information, often encoded in a tilt fringe, off-axis interference pattern • So holograms and interferograms look the same in classical setups…

 Looks familiar

…what about digital holography?

 No difference!

An alternative: “Instantaneous” interferometry

One approach is by polarization encoding

• Some environments have significant vibrations and air turbulence • All of the information required for interference fringe analysis must be gathered in less than 0.001 sec

We have another view…

The tilt fringe method has advantages

• Polarization methods are, well, polarization sensitive

• Use Field Angle encoding with Carrier Fringe detection • Avoids limitations of polarization birefringence and mixing

• This means that the optical system has to be designed carefully to maintain polarization isolation

• Preserves the option for true on-axis Fizeau configuration

• Even with special care, calibration is required to mitigate residual errors, some of which cannot be avoided • All of this comes at the price of increased hardware complexity

Coherent noise reduction

A moving source solves the coherent noise problem

• A statistical error source in laser interferometers is spurious interference effects = coherent noise

We average multiple images with a moving source point in our CARS (coherent artifact reduction) option for the DynaFiz™ interferometer

32

• This was a problem in holography from the very early days • Solution (1967): Acquire holograms under different conditions that randomize the noise, and averaging the reconstructed images

So…Tilt fringe interferometry: is it holography?

©2016 Zygo Corporation and AMETEK, Inc.

34

Were these guys just doing interferometry?

• Tilt fringe interferometers generate off-axis digital holograms • Digital processing provides the complex phase and amplitude • Modern systems compensate for retrace errors, have high lateral resolution, and provide real-time results • Averaging techniques developed in the earliest days of holography reduce the coherent noise • Given these facts…

How does holography differ from interferometry?

The same recorded intensity pattern can be called “holographic” or “interferometric”

What makes holography so special?

The only difference, quite literally, is in how you look at it!

Reconstructing the wavefront

Holographic reconstruction

• In traditional holography using exposed film, the wavefront is reconstructed by illuminating it with the original reference wave

…is unique to holography

Reconstructed object wave

• This propagating wavefront can be intercepted, focused, transformed, interpreted... from different angles and distances

We can now “look” at the reconstructed wavefront

The recorded intensity is

I SUM   I  I 0   u*u0 exp  2 iTx    uo*u exp   2 iTx   If we illuminate with the tilted reference once again, we get u0 exp  iTx   H   I  I 0  u0 exp  iTx    u*u0 exp  2iTx   u0

Digital reconstruction and propagation

Efficient calculations use plane wave decomposition

• The complex wavefront propagates to a virtual position in space using Huygens-Fresnel principle

Starting wavefront

• We use this principle to create new wavefronts anywhere along the direction of propagation

Many interferometers almost use holography

So.. is holography just a fancy name for interferometry? • No! • The creation of the original hologram is indeed interferometry, however… • …interferometric metrology usually does not involve the regeneration or digital synthesis of a propagating wavefront

• They perform the first step of holistically measuring and recording the wavefront complex amplitude—both phase and magnitude • The recording geometry can be identical to the traditional off-axis holographic exposure

Why is this useful to know? • Ideas carried over from holography have enriched interferometric metrology

Thanks to Les Deck Xavier Colonna de Lega Jan Liesener Michael Turzhitsky

• The same effect has occurred in the other direction—holograms are sometimes acquired digitally using phase shifting methods • Conclusion: There is practical value in comparing the two methods, how they differ, and how they are converging towards a common set of techniques to solve challenging tasks
