Interferometry recovers the impulse response of waves propagating between two sensors as if one of them acts as a source. The primary focus of this thesis is on providing a framework for interferometry based on perturbation theory that can be used for the direct reconstruction of the portion of the data that is of interest for imaging and inversion methodologies. I derive general reciprocity th...

Three techniques of holographic Interferometry were developed to study the response of geological materials to propagating stress waves. Two of these techniques, stored-beam Interferometry and double-exposure Interferometry, were found effective when applied to studying smallamplitude wave propagation. The third technique, a form of time-average holographic Interferometry (which produces fringe...

This Lecture mainly based on [1, 2] presents the role of Polarimetry in SAR Interferometry. A general formulation for vector wave interferometry is presented that includes conventional scalar interferometry presented in the respective former lecture as a special case. Based on this formulation, the coherence optimization problem can be solved to obtain the optimum scattering mechanisms that lea...

PURPOSE To examine the applicability of the recently developed laser Doppler interferometry technique for measuring the axial length of cataract eyes in a realistic clinical situation. To determine the performance of the instrument as a function of cataract grade. To compare the results to those of ultrasound methods. METHODS A total of 196 cataract eyes of 100 patients were examined. The axi...

Spotlight SAR interferometry is an attractive option for high resolution mapping and monitoring. In this paper, the signal spectral characteristics and the interfeometric properties of spaceborne spotlight SAR are analyzed completely, and the effect of the azimuthvariant Doppler to spotlight SAR interferometry is studied. Moreover, a new coregistration algorithm, which contains coarse coregistr...

The measurement accuracy of an interferometric optical test is generally limited by the environment. This paper discusses two single-shot interferometric techniques for reducing the sensitivity of an optical test to vibration; simultaneous phase-shifting interferometry and a special form of spatial carrier interferometry utilizing a micropolarizer phase-shifting array. In both techniques averag...

We present a phase-shifting interferometric technique for imaging live biological cells in growth media, while optimizing spatial resolution and enabling potential real-time measurement capabilities. The technique uses slightly-off-axis interferometry which requires less detector bandwidth than traditional off-axis interferometry and fewer measurements than traditional on-axis interferometry. E...

Magnetic field fluctuation-induced particle transport has been directly measured in the high-temperature core of the MST reversed field pinch plasma. Measurement of radial particle transport is achieved by combining various interferometry techniques, including Faraday rotation, conventional interferometry, and differential interferometry. It is observed that electron convective particle flux an...

We present a new method for measuring the spectral phase of ultrashort pulses that utilizes spectral shearing interferometry with zero delay. Unlike conventional spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction, which encodes phase as a sensitively calibrated fringe in the spectral domain, two-dimensional spectral shearing interferometry robustly encodes phase along a seco...
