Journal ArticleDOI
Phase step measurement and variable step algorithms in phase-shifting interferometry
C T Farrell,Michael A. Player +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase difference between interferograms obtained from a phase shifting interferometer is calculated using Lissajous figures and ellipse fitting, and two phase extraction algorithms are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase-step insensitive algorithms for phase-shifting interferometry
C T Farrell,Michael A. Player +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two phase extraction algorithms, in which step sizes need not be known or equal, are described, and a previously published algorithm is used for the final phase calculation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Material removal rate prediction for ultrasonic drilling of hard materials using an impact oscillator approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the inherent non-linearity of the discontinuous impact process is modelled, to generate the pattern of the impact forces and a novel procedure for calculating the MRR is proposed, which for the first time explains the experimentally observed fall in MRR at higher static forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Underwater digital holography for studies of marine plankton
TL;DR: The use of a subsea digital holographic camera (eHoloCam) for the analysis and identification of marine organisms and other subsea particles and how their starting point lies in Maxwell's equations is reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous in-line and off-axis subsea holographic recording of plankton and other marine particles

TL;DR: In this article, a submersible holographic camera is used to simultaneously expose in-line and, uniquely, off-axis holograms to record organisms from a few micrometres upwards (in-line), in concentrations down to a few tens of particles per cubic metre (off-axis).
