Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical Metrology is a rapidly evolving research domain. Recent advancements have enabled nano measurements using optical methods. With the growth of artificial intelligence, the computational load of these methods has significantly decreased, leading them to be used in many in situ, real-time applications. The objective of this Special Issue of Photonics is to include the State-of-the-Art research advancements in optical methods and their applications in various domains. We cordially invite researchers to contribute their original and unique articles, as well as review articles. Topics include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Structured light systems;
- Interferometry;
- Phase shifting-based methods;
- Optical coherence tomography;
- Laser-based methods;
- Computational imaging;
- Microscope methods.
