TLDR
In this paper, the distribution of scale sizes in a speckle pattern (i.e., the Wiener spectrum) is investigated from a physical point of view, and it is shown that adding M uncorrelated speckles on an intensity basis can reduce the contrast by 1/√M.Abstract:
A speckle pattern formed in polarized monochromatic light may be regarded as resulting from a classical random walk in the complex plane. The resulting irradiance fluctuations obey negative exponential statistics, with ratio of standard deviation to mean (i.e., contrast) of unity. Reduction of this contrast, or smoothing of the speckle, requires diversity in polarization, space, frequency, or time. Addition of M uncorrelated speckle patterns on an intensity basis can reduce the contrast by 1/√M. However, addition of speckle patterns on a complex amplitude basis provides no reduction of contrast. The distribution of scale sizes in a speckle pattern (i.e., the Wiener spectrum) is investigated from a physical point of view.read more

Robust non-local fuzzy c-means algorithm with edge preservation for SAR image segmentation
TL;DR: A robust and specific non-local FCM algorithm with edge preservation for SAR image segmentation is proposed, which obtains the best performance in terms of region uniformity and boundary localization.

Comparison of Several Techniques to Obtain Multiple-Look SAR Imagery
TL;DR: It is found that by using several types of image domain filters, the signal-to-speckle noise ratio can be improved over the conventional discrete mixed-integrator while keeping the equivalent rectangular resolution constant.

TL;DR: This Letter exploits the Brownian motion of the colloidal particles to get multiple uncorrelated holograms, and combines them to reduce the speckle contrast, to get a multi-look gain without losing image resolution.

Quantum coherences reveal excited-state dynamics in biophysical systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the proposed origin and assignment of the observed quantum coherences in photosynthetic systems as electronic, vibronic or vibrational states are discussed. And the authors discuss how these measurements can inform us about the excited-state dynamics of biophysical and chemical systems relevant to natural light harvesting and reveal electronic structure beyond that captured by simplistic models.

Statistical properties of laser sparkle patterns
TL;DR: In this article, the first order statistics of the observed electric-field strength, the observed light intensity, and observed light phase are examined, and the autocorrelation functions of the complex field and intensity processes are investigated, and that of the electric field is found to be proportional to the Fourier transform of the light intensity distribution incident on the scattering surface.

XII. On the resultant of a large number of vibrations of the same pitch and of arbitrary phase
TL;DR: In this article, the resultant of a large number of vibrations of the same pitch and of arbitrary phase is discussed. But the authors focus on the effect of the phase of the vibrations.
