When the first edition of "Optical Interferometry" was published,
interferometry was regarded as a rather esoteric method of making
measurements, largely confined to the laboratory. Today, however,
besides its use in several fields of research, it has applications
in fields as diverse as measurement of length and velocity, sensors
for rotation, acceleration, vibration and electrical and magnetic
fields, as well as in microscopy and nanotechnology.
Most topics are discussed first at a level accessible to anyone
with a basic knowledge of physical optics, then a more detailed
treatment of the topic is undertaken, and finally each topic is
supplemented by a reference list of more than 1000 selected
original publications in total.
* Historical development of interferometry
* The laser as a light source
* Two-beam interference
* Techniques for frequency stabilization
* Coherence
* Electronic phase measurements
* Multiple-beam interference
* Quantum effects in optical interference
* Extensive coverage of the applications of interferometry, such as
measurements of length, optical testing, interference microscopy,
interference spectroscopy, Fourier-transform spectroscopy,
interferometric sensors, nonlinear interferometers, stellar
interferometry, and studies of space-time and gravitation.
