This short course introduces students to the basic concepts of optical metrology and provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art for some of its most advanced and widespread applications.

The course begins with an introduction to the theoretical aspects of optical metrology and the physical mechanisms underpinning its applications. It then analyzes examples of transformative metrological applications, such as interferometry (empowering the observation of phenomena like gravitational waves), spectroscopy (e.g., time-resolved spectroscopy with unparalleled sensitivity), and dual-comb spectroscopy (used e.g., astrophysical observations).
