Abstract [en]
An off-axis digital holographic interferometry technique integrated with a Mach–Zehnder interferometer based setup is demonstrated for measuring the temperature and temperature profile of a transparent medium. This technique offers several advantages: it does not require precise optomechanical adjustments or accurate definition of the frequency carrier mask, making it simple and cost-effective. Additionally, high-quality optics are not necessary. The methodology relies on measuring the phase difference between two digitally reconstructed complex wave fields and utilizing the temperature coefficient of the refractive index. In this way, we presented an equation of the temperature as a function of phase changes and the temperature coefficient of refractive index. This approach simplifies the calculation process and avoids the burden of complicated mathematical inversions, such as the inverse Abel transformation. It also eliminates the need for additional work with the Lorentz–Lorentz equation and Gladstone–Dale relation and can be extend for 3D measurements.
