Interferometry refers to a family of techniques in which electromagnetic
waves are superimposed in order to extract information about the
waves. An instrument used to interfere waves is called an interferometer.
Interferometry is an important investigative technique in the fields
of astronomy, fiber optics, engineering metrology, optical metrology,
oceanography, seismology, quantum mechanics, nuclear and particle
physics, plasma physics, remote sensing and biomolecular interactions.
