Field Guide to Interferometric Optical Testing (SPIE Field Guide Series Vol. FG10)

A distillation of Dr. Wyant's course at University of Arizona, this Field Guide covers the key fundamentals of interferometry, types of interferometers and interferograms, concepts of phase-shifting interferometry, long-wavelength interferometry, testing of aspheric surfaces, measurement of surface microstructure, flat and curved surface testing, and absolute measurements.
