Optical Interferometry
by Alexander Banishev, Mithun Bhowmick, Jue Wang
Publisher: InTech 2017
ISBN-13: 9789535129561
Number of pages: 258
Description:
Optical methods of measurements are the most sensitive techniques of noncontact investigations, and at the same time, they are fast as well as accurate which increases reproducibility of observed results. In recent years, the importance of optical interferometry methods for research has dramatically increased, and applications range from precise surface testing to finding extrasolar planets.

Photons, Schmotonsby John Baez, Michael Weiss - University of California
What the heck is a photon, anyway? You need to understand Maxwell's equations and quantum mechanics, and to understand how they fit together. This text won't teach you quantum electrodynamics. But they'll give you a nudge in the right direction.
