Reviews
It is refreshing to read a book which includes the word 'basic' in the title, and which actually succeeds in keeping to the basics of the subject. Hariharan has written a book which is an excellent introduction to interferometry of all sorts, and he has resisted the temptation to go into great detail. As a result, the book is very readable, very clear and easy to follow...I think the book would form an excellent introduction to interferometry for anyone with a basic physics background. It is well presented...is easy to read and achieves its purpose. --CONTEMPORARY PHYSICS I can recommend this excellent book as a wide ranging and thorough introduction to interferometry...[it[ is extremely well presented...and very readable. --MEASUREMENT SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY This book is well written and it is a pleasure to read. It is the ideal book to be used as a text for an introductory course in interferometry, since it includes almost any topic, including holographic and speckle interferometry and Fourier-transform spectroscopy...Anyone interested in optics or precision measurements will find this book useful and interesting. --OPTICS AND PHOTONICS NEWS
