Evolutions in Full-field Optoelectronic Coherent Metrology as Applied in Numerical Model Validation, Microscopy and Vibroacoustics

In the very small space offered by the restricted number of pages, this paper presents some of the most challenging full-field metrological family of techniques and reviews their evolution from the analogical, high resolution optical approach towards the emerging real-time, digital approach. The developments affect all hybrid, experimental-numerical measurement techniques using coherent light. They are useful to different scientific and industrial fields, ranging from microbiology and electronic packaging to material properties identification, non-destructive testing, vibroacoustics and identification of noise sources for a reduction of noise pollution. The paper presents the experience of the Photomechanics laboratory of INSA Rouen in these fields
