Abstract
The paper proposes a novel approach for estimating multiple phases in holographic moiré. The need to design such an algorithm is necessitated by the development of optical configurations containing two phase stepping devices, e.g. PZTs, with a view to measure simultaneously two phase distributions. The approach consists of first applying minimum-norm algorithm to extract phase steps imparted to the PZTs. Salient feature of the algorithm lies in its ability to handle nonsinusoidal waveforms and noise. This approach also provides the flexibility of using arbitrary phase steps, a feature most commonly attributed to generalized phase shifting interferometry. Once the phase steps are estimated for each PZT, the Vandermonde system of equations is designed to estimate the phase distributions.
