This book provides a comprehensive collection of wholefield optical measurement techniques for engineering applications. After supplying the necessary background, it covers both the theory and practice of the four wholefield techniques. The author supplies simple and clear explanations about various techniques and explores applications that include measurement on small objects to very large objects. Along with the reorganization of contents, this edition includes a new chapter on optical interference, new material on nondiffracting and singular beams and their applications, and updated bibliography and additional reading sections.
