Statistical optics
TLDR
Development of this more comprehensive model of the behavior of light draws upon the use of tools traditionally available to the electrical engineer, such as linear system theory and the theory of stochastic processes.Abstract:
Course Description This is an advanced course in which we explore the field of Statistical Optics. Topics covered include such subjects as the statistical properties of natural (thermal) and laser light, spatial and temporal coherence, effects of partial coherence on optical imaging instruments, effects on imaging due to randomly inhomogeneous media, and a statistical treatment of the detection of light. Development of this more comprehensive model of the behavior of light draws upon the use of tools traditionally available to the electrical engineer, such as linear system theory and the theory of stochastic processes.read more

Perturbation Analysis of Nonlinear Propagation in a Strongly Dispersive Optical Communication System
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model that predicts the impact of the Kerr nonlinearity in optical communication systems when the signal spectrum is wide and the accumulated dispersion during propagation is large is discussed.

Learning-based lensless imaging through optically thick scattering media
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid neural network was proposed for computational imaging through a scattering medium with an optical thickness of over 10 times the scattering mean free path, and the reconstruction of image information from various targets hidden behind a white polystyrene slab of 3mm in thickness.

Flow structure and optical beam propagation in high-Reynolds-number gas-phase shear layers and jets
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the scalar index-of-refraction field generated by turbulent, gas-phase, incompressible and compressible shear layers and incompressibly jets, and on associated beam-propagation aero-optical phenomena was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical development and experimental evaluation of imaging models for differential-interference-contrast microscopy
TL;DR: Two- and three-dimensional models for DIC imaging under partially coherent illumination were derived and tested by using phantom specimens viewed with several conventional DIC microscopes and quasi-monochromatic light to show quantitative and qualitative agreement between model and data for several imaging conditions.
