Download or read book Advanced theory of optical wave propagation and interferometric sensors for topography measurement written by Markus C. Schake and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manuscript provides a compendium for the application of the nonuniform wave model to standard problems of two beam interference and addresses common educational issues associated with wave propagation at attenuating interfaces. It also reports scientific advances in interferometric applications focusing on an interferometric point sensor with optical path length modulation and an areal measuring RGB-interferometer for fast topography measurements in the sub millisecond regime.
