In optics, the superposition of two or more light beams at any point over space can produce the apparition of interference fringes. When these fringes are applied to resolve a problem in industry or they are related with some property of an investigation matter of interest in some area of physics, chemistry, biology, etc., the evaluation of them is a very necessary task. One of the most used methods for phase extraction, as a result of fringes evaluation, is based on a phase change between the interference beams by a known value, while their amplitudes are keeping constant. It is called phase-shifting interferometry, phase-sampling interferometry, or phase-stepping interferometry, which are abbreviated by “PSI” (Schwider, 1990). In this technique a set of N interferograms changed in phase are created, which are represented by a set of N equations, where each equation has three unknowns called as background light, modulation light and the object phase. These spatial unknowns are considered constant during the application of the PSI technique. Then a 3 N system is formed and therefore it can be resolved when 3 N . Many methods to introduce a constant phase have been proposed as for example by changing the optical frequency, wavelength, index of refraction, distance, optical path, for instance; but also with some properties or effect of the light such as the polarization, diffraction, Zeeman effect, Doppler effect, for instance (Schwider, 1990; Malacara, 2007). In this chapter, our major interest aims to propose a new method to generate a phase change in the interferogram based on the amplitude modulation of the electric field (Meneses-Fabian and Rivera-Ortega, 2011).
