Simultaneous 2D in-plane deformation measurement using electronic speckle pattern interferometry with double phase modulations
Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) and digital speckle pattern interferometry are well-established non-contact measurement methods. They have been widely used to carry out precise deformation mapping. However, the simultaneous two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) deformation measurements using ESPI with phase shifting usually involve complicated and slow equipment. In this Letter, we solve these issues by proposing a modified ESPI system based on double phase modulations with only one laser and one camera. In-plane normal and shear strains are obtained with good quality. This system can also be developed to measure 3D deformation, and it has the potential to carry out faster measurements with a high-speed camera.
In-plane deformations can be easily measured by a simple electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) measuring system[
In order to measure the two-dimensional (2D) in-plane displacement field [or the whole three-dimensional (3D) displacement field], several solutions have been proposed. The most direct one is to use digital speckle photography (DSP) (or to combine DSP with out-of-plane ESPI for the 3D measurement)[
In this Letter, we show the possibility of doing simultaneous 2D measurement using the widely recognized ESPI technique and a single laser without switches. The optical arrangement is shown in Fig.

This method can also be extended to carry out 3D displacement field measurements without increasing acquisition time and without an additional laser or camera: if the laser is separated into a fourth coherent beam and its direction of illumination is
It should be noticed that when piezoelectric actuators are driven to make sawtooth displacements, the precision cannot be guaranteed, especially at a high frequency, where the fly-back time of the mirror cannot be neglected. The nonlinearity and noise generated by the sudden return becomes unacceptable when high-speed measurement is required. This issue can be addressed with sinusoidal phase modulations such as
In Eq. (

We can now draw a direct link between the four terms in Eq. (
We used a bending specimen, as shown in Fig.
Figure 4.Bending specimen (photo taken by a camera that is not used in the experiments). By adjusting the micrometer screw, different deformation states can be obtained. The white rectangle represents the zone of interest.
First, we make sure that there is already an initial contact between the micrometer screw and the bending specimen. Then, the two phase modulations are turned on, and a short video (1 s, 63 frames per second) is recorded. Likewise, we record another video after turning the micrometer screw so that the deformation state changes. By analyzing these two videos, we can measure the 2D displacement field.

Compared to previous reports of 2D in-plane displacement field measurements, the proposed approach is much simpler with only one laser and one camera; yet, high-quality fringes have been obtained. A camera with moderate speed (63 frames per second) is used; still, the data acquisition time (1 s for 2D information) is even a little advantageous over some commercialized systems (e.g. 3.5 s for 3D information[
