Topics for Further Study

• Interferometry and Data Reduction

  • Constructing amateur interferometers
  • Characterization, measurement, analysis and calibration-based removal of error sources in interferometer optics
  • Phase Shifting Interferometers (PSI)
  • PSI Analysis Software

• Mirror Testing

  • A quantitative comparison of interferometry and the Foucault test

• Mirror Mounting

  • Gravity-induced astigmatism in large, thin mirrors for various mirror mounting methods (how good is that N-point flotation cell?)
