Abstract

Digital Shearography (DS) is an optical method for measuring strains in rough opaque objects by using speckle patterns as information carriers of the sample. Recent studies have shown that inducing surface roughness by scratching a smooth surface extends the application of DS in transparent objects. However, this entails physically modifying the sample. Here, we demonstrate the use of a developed mask as a speckle generator in the testing of transparent objects without compromising the resolution. The mask is fabricated by chemical etching. The proposed technique can be used in the investigations of photo-elastic strains in transparent materials.
