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

Solar measurements for 21 cm wavelength using 3 m radio telescope
Uday E. Jallod,Kamal M. Abood +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum antenna temperature, solar brightness temperature, and solar flux density are found to be 970 K, 49600 K, and 70 SFU, respectively, and the results show perfect correlation with recent published studies.
Continental-shelf scale Passive Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing of marine mammals and other submerged objects including detection, localization, and classification
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper developed the basics of the Passive Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (POAWRS) technique for the instantaneous continental-shelf scale detection, localization and species classification of marine mammal vocalizations.
Terahertz wireless communication through atmospheric atmospheric turbulence and rain
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the communication links is mainly studied under propagation through atmospheric turbulence and rain, and dedicated indoor weather chambers are designed to produce controllable weather conditions to emulate the real outdoor weather as closely as possible.

Spectral Low Coherence Interferometry: A Complete Analysis of the Detection System and the Signal Processing
Eneas N. Morel,Jorge Torga +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the echo time delay of backscattered light in the sample is measured through the characterization of the interference intensity obtained when the light coming from the sample and the light reflected in a reference surface overlap.

Using Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulators for Closed Loop Tracking and Beam Steering with Phase Holography
TL;DR: In this paper, an iterative Fourier transform algorithm is proposed to overcome the limitations by creating a phase hologram that steers and splits the beam without subdividing the SLM, seeking to minimize the aforementioned effects by allowing more efficient use of the LC array.
