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

Advanced Imaging Methods for Long-Baseline Optical Interferometry
TL;DR: An original quadratic regularization called ldquosoft support constraintrdquo that favors the object compactness is introduced and yields images of quality comparable to nonquadratic regularizations on the synthetic data the authors have processed.

Analysis of the spectral efficiency of frequency-encoded OCDMA systems with incoherent sources
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral efficiency of frequency-encoded (FE) optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) systems with incoherent sources was analyzed as a function of the number of users.

Field and intensity correlation in random media
TL;DR: C(E)(Deltaomega) and C (E)(Deltax) are shown to be the Fourier transforms, respectively, of the time of flight distribution, obtained from pulsed measurements, and of the specific intensity.

A restoration framework for ultrasonic tissue characterization
Martino Alessandrini,S. Maggio,Jonathan Poree,L. De Marchi,Nicolo Speciale,Emilie Franceschini,Olivier Bernard,Olivier Basset +7 more
TL;DR: A maximum a posteriori deconvolution framework expressly derived to improve tissue characterization is introduced and overcomes limitations associated with standard techniques by using a nonstandard prior model for the tissue response.

Free Space Optical Communication with Spatial Modulation and Coherent Detection over H-K Atmospheric Turbulence Channels
TL;DR: In this article, a generic analytical framework for obtaining the average bit error probability (ABEP) of uncoded optical spatial modulation (OSM) with coherent detection in the presence of turbulence-induced fading is presented.

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.
