Handbook Of Optical Dimensional Metrology -

Dimensional metrology is the science of measuring physical dimensions like length, angle, flatness, and surface form. This handbook focuses on , which use light properties—such as interference, diffraction, and reflection—to perform non-contact measurements.

: The text covers measurements for fine micro/nano features, medium-sized manufactured goods (like aircraft engine parts), and large-scale objects such as buildings. Handbook of optical dimensional metrology

: Unlike traditional Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) that use physical probes, optical systems are faster and generate dense "point clouds" of data without touching the part, which is critical for delicate or high-speed manufacturing environments.
