Book excerpt: FROM THE PREFACE: The aim of this book is to present a self-contained treatment of the subject with particular emphasis on recent developments and their implications for the future. A brief historical survey leads up to three chapters covering the classical concepts of two-beam interference, coherence and multiple-beam interference. Chapter 5 then discusses interference in thin films, antireflection coatings and interference filters. As mentioned at the outset, lasers are now being used to an increasing extent in optical interferometry; in fact, this has led to the virtual demise of the classical mercury arc. Accordingly, Chapter 6 looks at the laser as a light source and discusses techniques for obtaining a single-frequency output and for frequency stabilization. Five chapters then deal with applications of interferometry such as length measurement, testing optical surfaces, interference spectroscopy and Fourier-transform spectroscopy. Emphasis is placed in these chapters on techniques which have become feasible with the development of the laser, including unequal-path interferometry, fringe-counting, heterodyne and digital interferometry, fibre-optic interferometry and nonlinear interferometry. These are followed by three chapters on holography, holographic interferometry and speckle interferometry. A final chapter on stellar interferometry describes the intensity interferometer and techniques such as stellar speckle interferometry and speckle holography. Some useful mathematical results as well as some selected topics in optics are summarized for ready reference in five appendices. I have tried to plan this book so that it can be used by people who would like to apply interferometric techniques in their work as well as those who would like to learn more about interferometry. In the first instance, most topics are discussed at a level accessible to people with a basic knowledge of physical optics; a more detailed treatment for the serious worker then follows. Finally, the text is supplemented by a reference list of nearly 600 selected papers. Accordingly, students should find this book useful as a text, while researchers can use it as a reference work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state-of-the-art full-colored handbook gives a comprehensive introduction to the principles and the practice of calculation, layout, and understanding of optical systems and lens design. Written by reputed industrial experts in the field, this text introduces the user to the basic properties of optical systems, aberration theory, classification and characterization of systems, advanced simulation models, measuring of system quality and manufacturing issues. In this Volume Volume 5 topics comprise the methods of measuring the properties of optical systems. The different fundamental techniques, such as propagation measurement and polarimetry, are introduced and discussed in detail and clarity. The presentation allows the reader, after having devised an optical system, to perform the measurements best suited to ascertain that the system fulfills the specific needs and requirements. The following chapters provide a survey on materials, coatings and surfaces of optical components, and combine this with a treatment of light and radiation. The book thus serves as a one-stop reference for metrology of optical systems.

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books are available that detail the basic principles of the different methods of surface characterization. On the other hand, the scientific literature provides a resource of how individual pieces of research are conducted by particular labo- tories. Between these two extremes the literature is thin but it is here that the present volume comfortably sits. Both the newcomer and the more mature scientist will find in these chapters a wealth of detail as well as advice and general guidance of the principal phenomena relevant to the study of real samples. In the analysis of samples, practical analysts have fairly simple models of how everything works. Superimposed on this ideal world is an understanding of how the parameters of the measurement method, the instrumentation, and the char- teristics of the sample distort this ideal world into something less precise, less controlled, and less understood. The guidance given in these chapters allows the scientist to understand how to obtain the most precise and understood measu- ments that are currently possible and, where there are inevitable problems, to have clear guidance as the extent of the problem and its likely behavior.
Download or read book Optical Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave FMCW Interferometry written by Jesse Zheng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-08-25 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical interference plays a prominent role in scientific discovery and modern technology. Historically, optical interference was instrumental in establishing the wave nature of light. Nowadays, optical interference continues to be of great importance in areas such as spectroscopy and metrology. Thus far, the physical optics literature has discussed the interference of optical waves with the same single frequency (i.e., homodyne interference) and the interference of optical waves with two different frequencies (i.e., heterodyne interference), but it hardly ever deals with the interference of optical waves whose frequencies are continuously modulated (i.e., frequency-modulated continuous-wave int- ference). Frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) interference, which was originally investigated in radar in the 1950s, has been recently introduced in optics. The study of optical FMCW interference not only updates our kno- edge about the nature of light but also creates a new advanced technology for precision measurements. This book introduces the principles, applications, and signal processing of optical FMCW interference. The layout of this book is straightforward. Chapter 1 gives a short introduction to optical FMCW interferometry by considering the historical development, general concepts, and major advantages provided by this new technology. Chapter 2 focuses on the principles of optical FMCW interference. Three different versions of optical FMCW interference— sawtooth-wave optical FMCW interference, triangular-wave optical FMCW interference, and sinusoidal-wave optical FMCW interference—are discussed in detail. Moreover, multiple-beam optical FMCW interference and multip- wavelength optical FMCW interference are also discussed by this chapter.
Download or read book Basics of Interferometry written by P. Hariharan and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
