Measurements of Extreme Physical Phenomena by Fourier Fringe Analysis

The paper reviews recent applications of the Fourier transform method (FTM) of fringe pattern analysis to the measurements of extreme physical phenomena, such as those involving ultra fast optical pulses, extremely small atomic displacements, and unconventional electron or EUV waves, and shows how the advantages of FTM are exploited in these cutting edge application areas.
