A method for measuring the quality parameters of image intensifier based on projecting phase-shifting gratings

A method for measuring the quality parameters of image intensifier based on projecting phase-shifting gratings is proposed. A set of designed phase-shifting gratings are projected into the measuring system orderly to obtain the magnification parameter of the measured image intensifier, and the phase caused by the measured image intensifier. After obtaining the referential phase caused by only the magnification of the measured image intensifier, the phase caused by the distortion of the measured image intensifier is extracted by phase calculating and phase unwrapping. Both the global distortion and the partial distortion of the measured image intensifier can be measured by phase-to-distortion matching at the same time. The experimental results show that the proposed method can measure the multiple quality parameters of image intensifier effectively.
