Abstract

Developments in optical interferometry over the last two decades are reviewed. This period has seen this field revitalized by the invention of the laser: significant advances have also stemmed from the use of photoelectric detectors, digital computers, single-mode optical fibres and nonlinear optical crystals. Other new developments include holographic interferometry and electronic speckle-pattern interferometry. Current techniques and applications are described and prospects for the future are discussed.
