Measurement improvement by high overlapping density subaperture stitching interferometry

The vibration-modulated subaperture stitching interferometer acquires the interferogram on the fly dynamically. With its highly improved measurement throughput, we applied the device for high overlapping density subaperture stitching interferometry to acquire hundreds of overlapping subapertures in a single phase stitching measurement. The averaging effect of the high overlapping density stitching interferometer is discussed. In the experiment, the proposed high overlapping density stitching interferometer is also proved to reduce measurement uncertainty and improve measurement quality effectively.
