Abstract
This paper describes a large-aperture high-accuracy phase-shifting digital flat interferometer which is a combination of optic, mechanics, electricity, and algorithm. The aperture size is 250 mm and liquid surface is used as an absolute flat to eliminate systemic error. The accuracy is better than (lambda) /50 ((lambda) is Hz-Ne laser wavelength) (peak-to-valley value). The tested aperture can be enlarged to 500 mm. This interferometer will be used as our country optical flat standard instrument. This paper describes the optical interferometer, phase shifter, and calibration of precision.

Modelling and correction for polarization errors of a 600 mm aperture dynamic Fizeau interferometer

TL;DR: A wave plate model is developed for analyzing the birefringence effect and the relationship between the calculated phase and the ideal phase distribution is established, which can effectively eliminate single and double frequency print through errors.

Optical phase-shifting methods based on low coherence laser for large aperture Fizeau interferometer

TL;DR: In this article, the phase shifting procedure is moved to the source module with a low coherence laser, which makes phase shifting independent of the large interference cavity, and the path matching procedure based on intensity variation is introduced to compensate the path difference between the two arms.

New algorithm on phase-shifting interferometry: the overlapping averaging 4-frame algorithm

TL;DR: This paper presents a new algorithm, the overlapping averaging 4-frame (OAF) algorithm, which can reduce the phase error due to phase shifter errors, which is more highly accurate than other phase-measurement algorithms.
