A Wonderful World of Holography, Interferometry, and Optical Testing

Chapter
First Online:

This paper will briefly describe four projects I have especially enjoyed being involved with during my career. 1) Use of computer generated holograms for testing aspheric optics, 2) phase-shifting interferometry, 3) computerized interference microscope, and 4) dynamic (single-shot) interferometry.
