Abstract

A polarization phase shifting lateral shearing interferometer based on a polarization beam splitting plate(PBSP) is proposed. The front surface of the PBSP is coated with polarization beam splitting film and its back surface is coated with total reflection film. The beam to be tested is split by the PBSP with an incidence angle of 45° and divided into two mutually perpendicular linearly polarization beams. Phase shifting can be introduced to the interferometer when the PBSP is combined with a polarzation temporal or spatial phase shifter. A polarizaiton temporal phase shifting lateral shearing interferometer system is built up both with the ASAP software and the experiments. The usefulness of the interferometer is verified.
