Popis: We propose astigmatic dual-beam interferometric particle imaging (ADIPI) to simultaneously measure the three-dimensional (3D) position and size of spherical metal droplets. A theoretical model reveals that the orientation and spacing of the ADIPI fringes generated from the two reflections propagating through an astigmatic imaging system relate to the depth position and size, respectively. Proof-of-concept experiments on micron-sized gallium droplets are performed, and the tilted fringes in elliptical patterns are observed in the ADIPI interferogram, confirming theoretical predictions. Droplet 3D position and size are determined with ADIPI, and the relative discrepancies are within 5% and 2% compared to those with a dual-view digital inline holography system, demonstrating the feasibility and high accuracy of ADIPI.
