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

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.

Comparison of polychromatic wave-optics models
Noah R. Van Zandt,Mark F. Spencer,Michael J. Steinbock,Brian Anderson,Milo W. Hyde,Steven T. Fiorino +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy and numerical efficiency of three separate wave-optics models that simulate the active illumination of extended objects with polychromatic laser light are investigated, using spectral slicing, Monte Carlo averaging, and depth slicing, respectively.

APIC - Absolute Position Interfero-Coronagraph for direct exoplanet detection
TL;DR: In this article, a modified version of the AIC was presented for detecting very faint stellar companions, such as exoplanets, and their relative position was determined with respect to the parent star, a problem that was not solved in the original design.

Optoelectronic experiments on random bit generators and coupled dynamical systems
TL;DR: An experiment of four delay-coupled optoelectronic oscillators is presented as the first experimental observations of both of these novel synchronization phenomena in simple networks of coupled oscillators, and an experimental realization of group synchrony is shown.

Role of illumination and thin film layers on the printability of defects
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of projection printer illumination and resist/substrate layers in the printability of defects is explored in a physical-based approach, where the mutual coherence is first calculated, and then the impact of a defect on a feature is calculated using the image perturbation approach.
