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

Single shot imaging through turbid medium and around corner using coherent light
Guowei Li,Dayan Li,Guohai Situ +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method that allows non-invasive single-shot optical imaging through turbid media and around corner via speckle correlation was proposed. But, the method requires neither scan of illumination nor two-arm interferometry or long-time exposure in acquisition, which has new implications in optical sensing through common obscurants such as fog, smoke and haze.

Enhance the Performance of Free Space Optical (FSO) Communication due to Atmospheric Turbulence via the Dual Diffuser Modulation (DDM)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on mitigating the atmospheric turbulence effect in free space optical communication using dual diffuser modulation (DDM) technique, which uses two transmitter and differential mode detection at the receiver.

Design and fabrication of advanced EUV diffractive elements
Patrick P. Naulleau,James Alexander Liddle,Farhad Salmassi,Erik H. Anderson,Eric M. Gullikson +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe recent advancements made in the fabrication of phase-enhanced diffractive structures for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, and describe their applications in interferometry, illumination, and spectral filtering.

Femtosecond resolution experiments at third-generation light sources: a concept based on the statistical properties of synchrotron radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new concept of visible pump/X-ray probe/slow detector experiments that could be performed at third-generation synchrotron light sources.

Ultrafast spatiotemporal laser pulse engineering using chromatic dispersion
TL;DR: In this article, a method for manipulating the optical field distribution in time and space at the focal plane of a chromatic lens is discussed. But this method is not suitable for the generation of a quasi-three-dimensional ellipsoidal photon distribution and a proof-of-principle experiment is observed.

A Global Assessment of the SRTM Performance
TL;DR: The NASA/NGA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected interferometric radar data which has been used by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to generate a near-global topography data product for latitudes smaller than 60° as mentioned in this paper.
