Today, however, besides its use in several fields of research, it has applications in fields as diverse as measurement of length and velocity, sensors for rotation, acceleration, vibration and electrical and magnetic fields, as well as in microscopy and nanotechnology. Most topics are discussed first at a level accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of physical optics, then a more detailed treatmInterferometryInterferometry.535/.47/0287Hariharan P47552MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784643803321Optical interferometry3843592UNINA
