Course detail

Optical Metrology

FSI-XOM-KAcad. year: 2011/2012

Optical metrology can be described as a complex of techniques from fields such as physics, electrical and mechanical engineering, and computer science. It has considerably benefited from some of the most important innovations of the recent past: lasers, computers and fibre optics communication. The course is intended as an occasion to review the methods of optical metrology, with emphasis on non-destructive testing.
