In the present paper, application of Talbot interferometry for real-time vi
bration measurement is investigated. Experiments were conducted to measure/
monitor out-of-plane motion of a vibrating loudspeaker membrane. Experiment
al results demonstrate that by using Talbot interferometry out-of-plane vib
rations as well as phase lag between driving force and membrane oscillation
can be measured. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
