The second edition of this respected text considerably expands the original and reflects the tremendous advances made in the discipline since 1968. All material has been thoroughly updated and several new sections explore recent progress in important areas, such as wavelength modulation, analog information processing, and holography. Fourier analysis is a ubiquitous tool with applications in diverse areas of physics and engineering. This book explores these applications in the field of optics with a special emphasis on applications to diffraction, imaging, optical data processing, and holography. This book can be used as a textbook to satisfy the needs of several different types of courses, and it is directed toward both engineers ad physicists. By varying the emphasis on different topics and specific applications, the book can be used successfully in a wide range of basic Fourier Optics or Optical Signal Processing courses.read more

Nonlinear structured-illumination microscopy: Wide-field fluorescence imaging with theoretically unlimited resolution
TL;DR: Experimental results show that a 2D point resolution of <50 nm is possible on sufficiently bright and photostable samples, and a recently proposed method in which the nonlinearity arises from saturation of the excited state is experimentally demonstrated.

A Model for Radar Images and Its Application to Adaptive Digital Filtering of Multiplicative Noise
TL;DR: A model for the radar imaging process is derived and a method for smoothing noisy radar images is presented and it is shown that the filter can be easily implemented in the spatial domain and is computationally efficient.

Accelerating finite energy Airy beams
TL;DR: This work investigates the acceleration dynamics of quasi-diffraction-free Airy beams in both one- and two-dimensional configurations and shows that this class of finite energy waves can retain their intensity features over several diffraction lengths.
