Handbook of Optical Metrology ― Principles and Applications

Designed to provide beginners with an introduction to optical metrology without sacrificing academic rigor, this comprehensive handbook discusses fundamental principles and techniques before exploring practical applications. Featuring contributions from veteran and up-and-coming researchers, the Second Edition offers ten new chapters—more than 200 pages—on surface roughness and micro-profiles, high-speed photography, fiber sensors and applications, microscopy, coordinate-measuring machines with optical and video probes, optical CT (computed tomography), industrial endoscopes and bore-scopes, measurement and inspection in the semiconductor and car industries, and optical methods of mechatronics.

Toru Yoshizawa received his BS, MS, and doctorate of engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan. After ten years of research and educational works at Yamanashi University, Kofu, Japan, he moved to Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Japan, where he was professor in the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering for 25 years. After retirement from the university, he worked in industry for three years, and then moved to Saitama Medical University, Japan to explore medical and biomedical fields using optical techniques. Currently he is director at Non-Profit Organization 3D Associates, Yokohama, Japan, and professor emeritus at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.
