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.

Optical vortex trap for resonant confinement of metal nanoparticles
TL;DR: This letter experimentally realise a novel trapping geometry near the plasmon resonance using an annular light field possessing a helical phasefront that confines the nanoparticle to the vortex core (dark) region.

Free-space optical communication employing subcarrier modulation and spatial diversity in atmospheric turbulence channel
TL;DR: In this paper, an expression for the bit error rate of a multiple subcarrier intensity-modulated atmospheric optical communication system employing spatial diversity is derived, where spatial diversity was used to mitigate scintillation caused by atmospheric turbulence, which was assumed to obey log-normal distribution.

TL;DR: The central role played by ‘breather-like' structures such as the Peregrine soliton in the emergence of heavy-tailed statistics in integrable turbulence is demonstrated and temporal ‘snapshots' of random light are reported using a specially designed ‘time-microscope'.

Information authentication using photon-counting double-random-phase encrypted images
TL;DR: This report shows that the photon-counting encrypted image is generated with few photons and appears sparse; however, it has sufficient information for decryption and authentication and may make the verification process more robust against attacks.
