Optical interferometry is a powerful technique to make images on
angular scales hundreds of times smaller than is possible with the
largest telescopes. This concise guide provides an introduction to
the technique for graduate students and researchers who want to
make interferometric observations and acts as a reference for
technologists building new instruments. Starting from the
principles of interference, the author covers the core concepts of
interferometry, showing how the effects of the Earth's atmosphere
can be overcome using closure phase, and the complete process of
making an observation, from planning to image reconstruction. This
rigorous approach emphasizes the use of rules-of-thumb for
important parameters such as the signal-to-noise ratios,
requirements for sampling the Fourier plane and predicting image
quality. The handbook is supported by web resources, including the
Python source code used to make many of the graphs, as well as an
interferometry simulation framework, available at
