The book appeals to technicians and scientists who are developing or using optical instruments. For students, it can serve as an introduction into the rapidly growing field of interferometric techniques. For practitioners in applied optics, the tolerance analyses, which are also applicable to other optical instruments, can be of use.
Optical interferometers are used in many applications in industrial measurement technology as well as scientific measurement instruments. Emphasis is laid on the design of optical interferometers. To this end, special optical components are also treated in detail, polarization-optical techniques are presented, and aspects of dynamic measurement techniques are covered. An introduction into optical tolerancing analyses is considered useful for the purpose of creating robust devices. Contents: Types of interferometers – Designing optical interferometers – Tolerancing considerations – Applications in materials science, strain-measurement technology, and quality testing
