Book excerpt: For a two-beam interferometer, the variations of intensity in the plane of observation are given by the modulation function, which is equal to the mutual coherence function for the radiation arriving by the two separate beams. When this function is expressed in its most general form, it is found to depend on the spatial and spectral distributions of the light from the source, on any differences in the optical paths followed by the two beams, and on the states of polarization of the two beams. Hence, an interferometer can be used to measure any one of these quantities provided its influence can be separated from that of any qualtities. This separation of effects is basic to the techniques of interferometry and leads to the idea of compensation: the design of an interferometer that is insensitive to one or more of the quantities listed above. Examples are given of the compensation of interferometers for the spatial and spectral properties of the source and also for the state of polarization of the light. (Author).

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.
Download or read book Interferometry written by W. H. Steel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1985-12-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enlarged and updated in 1983, this is the second edition of Dr Steel's popular textbook on interferometry. The text has been revised throughout and major additions have been made to reflect the phenomenal growth of laser techniques and applications. The book provides a general treatment that brings together the many different applications of the interference of light waves, light being used in its most general sense to include all electromagnetic radiation. The applications can cover precise measurement of length, the testing of optical components against a computed hologram, measurements of atmospheric pollution by infrared spectroscopy and many of the methods of radio astronomy and the measurement of size of visible stars. These apparently unrelated methods have a common theory, which the book presents and extends to each main field of application. It shows workers in one field how their problems relate to those in other fields, where they may have been solved already. The book will be found useful by anyone whose work involves one of the many applications of interferometric techniques.
