Abstract
A single-aperture common-path speckle interferometer with an unlimited shear amount is developed. This unlimited shear amount is introduced when a Wollaston prism is placed near the Fourier plane of a common-path interferometer, which is built by using a quasi-4 f imaging system. The fundamentals of the shear amount and the spatial carrier frequency generation are analyzed mathematically, and the theoretical predictions are validated by a static experiment. Mode-I fracture experiments through the three-point bending are conducted to prove the feasibility and the capability of this method in full-field strain measurement with various shear amounts. A remarkable feature of this setup is that no tilt is required between the optical components to produce the unlimited shear amount in off-axis holography.
