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

Upper and lower bounds for the bit error rate for multiple photodiode balanced detectors in SAC OCDMA systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the upper and lower bounds for the bit error rate for a system that implements multiple photodiode structured balanced detectors, and a simulation using Optisystem is conducted to compare the performance of the conventional balanced detector and an ideal multi-photodiode balanced detector.
