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

Handbook of Fourier Analysis & Its Applications
TL;DR: In this article, Fourier Transforms in Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes are used for time-frequency representation of signal and image synthesis in the context of Fourier analysis.

Dynamic wave-front generation for the characterization and testing of optical systems.
TL;DR: A measure of wave-front generation efficiency is introduced and is shown to be better than 86% for Kolmogorov phase screens with D/r(0) in the range from 0 to 30, and the method for generating known optical aberrations dynamically, using a ferroelectric liquid-crystal spatial light modulator.

Enhanced resolution and throughput of Fresnel incoherent correlation holography (FINCH) using dual diffractive lenses on a spatial light modulator (SLM).
TL;DR: Improved image resolution over previous single lens systems and at wider bandwidths was observed and the improved quality of the hologram results from a reduced optical path difference of the interfering beams and increased efficiency.
