Abstract

For three decades, my work in optics has encompassed a wide variety of research projects and commercial products that all relied on the fringes produced from optical interference to measure different physical parameters. This paper describes some of the most unique experiments and novel commercial products including: measurement of air velocity in wind tunnels, residual stress in metals, space telescope performance in vacuum chambers and surface shape of turbine blades with a hand-held instrument. Some of these ideas achieved commercial success; all were collaborations with other scientists, including the late Chandra Vikram.
