"Interferogram Analysis for Optical Testing, Second Edition is regarded by those in the field as the most comprehensive guide to optical testing interferometers. For those new to the science, this reference provides the necessary fundamentals, including basic computational methods for studying fringe patterns produced by interferometry. For those with a deeper range of experience, the book fills in the gaps and adds cutting edge information." "For the second edition of Interferogram Analysis for Optical Testing, the editors have updated the entire book to reflect current trends. It combines chapters on classical interferometers and testing methods, interweaving concepts to present a more complete and unified approach."--Jacket.
