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

TL;DR: In this paper, the FLASH soft X-ray free-electron laser was used to reconstruct a coherent diffraction pattern from a nano-structured nonperiodic object, before destroying it at 60,000 K.

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.

Electron diffraction using a cold atom source
TL;DR: In this paper, the Cold Atom Electron and Ion Source (CAEIS) was proposed as a possible way to generate ultrafast electron bunches that are brighter than can currently be produced, with the aim of enabling next generation structural determination techniques, particularly those based on electron diffraction.

Information rates of solar blind non-line-of-sight ultra-violet channels with binary-input
TL;DR: Simulation results indicate that conventional uncoded transmission is far from capacity and that large gains in data rate can be had by applying error control coding.
Modeling Ultrasound Speckle Formation and its Dependence on Imaging System’s Impulse Response
Navalgund A. H. K. Rao,Hui Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of scatterer number density and resolution cell volume on the backscattered signal was analyzed in the light of theoretical predictions, and the results showed that Kurtosis varies linearly with another parameter F that depends on the resolution cell size.

Uncertainty Relations for Mesoscopic Coherent Light
TL;DR: In this paper, a cost function for mesoscopic devices with coherent effects is defined using a novel disorder reversal operator, and a simple expression is obtained for the average cost function, which depends on the dimensionless conductance and a geometrical factor controlled by boundary conditions.

Experimental Violation of the Leggett-Garg Inequality Using the Polarization of Classical Light
TL;DR: In contrast to Bell's inequalities which test the correlations between multiple spatially separated systems, the Leggett-Garg inequalities test the temporal correlations between measurements of a single system as discussed by the authors.
