New methods that can be used to determine phase in phase-stepping interferometry are presented. It is shown that a combination of some of these methods can be used to reduce the error introduced by phase-stepper miscalibration and nonlinearity. Moreover these new algorithms can also be used to detect the presence of miscalibration or phase-shifter nonlinearity. A simplified approach to understanding the error introduced by miscalibration and nonlinearity of the phase stepper and its reduction in phase-shifting interferometry is also presented.
