Optical Measurement Techniques and Applications (The Artech House Optoelectronics Library)

Significant advances in optical metrology have fuelled the development of innovative techniques for the technology in a wide range of applications. Underlying the principles behind up-to-date optical measurement techniques, this work uses example diagrams and step-by-step equations, showing how these methods are used in real-world applications, from laser remote-sensing and vibration measurement, to providing the data necessary to develop computer models. The book also aims to prepare the reader to meet future optical measurement challenges by identifying what areas of research are on the horizon.
