Interferometry of Fibrous Materials [Hardcover]

Interferometry of Fibrous Materials shows how interferometric methods can be used in optical, synthetic, and natural fiber analysis. This practical volume features a large number of both color and black and white interferograms to enhance understanding of how interferometry is used to determine a fibre's optical properties.An introduction to fibre structure. Principles of interferometry. Two-beam interferometry applied to fibrous materials. Multiple-beam interferometry applied to fibrous materials. Interferometric determination of fibre surface topography. The effect of irradiation on the optical properties of fibres. Interference microscopes. Back-scattering of light waves from fibres. Automatic analysis of interferograms. References. Author index.
