Additional information
The series, Optical Methods—Back to Basics, is written by University Distinguished Professor Gary Cloud (SEM Fellow) of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. It began by introducing the nature and description of light and is progressing through topics ranging from diffraction through phase shifting interferometries. The intent is to educate through narrative discussion and marginal summaries coupled with illustrative photos and diagrams that can be used by practitioners in the classroom as well as in industry. Professor Cloud is internationally known for his work in optical measurements and for his book, Optical Methods of Engineering Analysis. Unless otherwise noted, the graphics in this series were created by the author.
