Abstract The first eight installments in this series have dealt with the nature of light and the first of the two cornerstones of optical methods of measurement, namely the interference of light waves. There is much more to be said about types and applications of interferometry, and, indeed, we will return to those subjects presently. It is time to augment our understanding of the behavior of light and to expand our arsenal of tools through study of the diffraction of light waves, the second of the two cornerstones. This segment provides some observations about our physical world that motivate study of the problem, mentions some potential applications, gives some background of the long history of the solution, and defines the problem in its simplest form.

Optical Methods: Back to Basics, is organized by ET Senior Technical Editor, Kristin Zim‐merman, General Motors, and written by Prof. Gary Cloud of Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI. The series began by introducing the nature and description of light and will evolve, with each issue, into topics ranging from diffraction through phase shifting interferometries. The intent is to keep the series educationally focused by coupling text with illustrative photos and diagrams that can be used by practitioners in the class‐room, as well as in industry. Unless noted otherwise, graphics in this series were created by the author.
