Sammendrag	Interferogram fringe analysis is a computational methodology for extracting quantitative information from interference fringe patterns recorded in optical systems. Rooted in Thomas Young's 1801 double-slit experiment and formalized in 20th-century metrology, this approach interprets the spatial patterns of constructive and destructive interference to measure surface topography, optical aberrations, refractive-index distributions, and other optical properties with high precision.	The ABCD matrix, or ray transfer matrix method, is a compact algebraic framework for analyzing optical systems. Introduced by Kogelnik and Li in 1966, it represents the linear transformation of ray position and angle (or Gaussian beam parameters) through optical elements. This method is foundational in laser physics, Gaussian optics, and optical design, enabling rapid calculation of resonator stability, beam propagation, and system performance.	Fourier optics is a mathematical framework that analyzes optical systems and phenomena using Fourier transforms and frequency-domain methods. Grounded in Joseph Fourier's 1822 work on heat diffusion and Ernst Abbe's microscopy theory, this approach decomposes optical fields into plane waves or spatial frequencies, revealing how optical systems manipulate and filter these components to produce images and transmit information.
