Description
This book is for those who have some knowledge of optics, but little or no previous experience in interferometry. Accordingly, the carefully
designed presentation helps readers easily find and assimilate the interferometric techniques they need for precision measurements. Mathematics
is held to a minimum, and the topics covered are also summarized in capsule overviews at the beginning and end of each chapter. Each
chapter also contains a set of worked problems that give a feel for numbers.
The first five chapters present a clear tutorial review
of fundamentals. Chapters six and seven discuss the types of lasers and photodetectors used in interferometry. The next eight chapters
describe key applications of interferometry: measurements of length, optical testing, studies of refractive index fields, interference
microscopy, holographic and speckle interferometry, interferometric sensors, interference spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform spectroscopy.
The final chapter offers suggestions on choosing and setting up an interferometer.
Audience
Engineers, physicists, graduate students in physics and engineering, and optical technicians.
