Abstract:According to the theory of scalar diffraction,first,the equipollence of spatial distribution of the plane-wave interferential field and parallel projective sine grating is discussed. Then,according to the geometrical optics,the modulation of structure light by the parallel projective illumination and the emanative projective illumination is discussed to educe the height formula corresponding to these two illuminative mode. Finally,the feasibility of the formula has been presented by academic simulation.
