The statistical properties of speckles in paraxial optical systems depend on the system parameters. In particular, the speckle orientation and the lateral dependence (x and y) of the longitudinal speckle size can vary ...
Correlation properties of speckle fields at the output of quadratic phase systems with hard square and circular apertures are examined. Using the linear canonical transform and ABCD ray matrix techniques to describe these ...
The correlation properties of speckle fields are studied for general paraxial systems. The previous studies on lateral and longitudinal speckle size for the case of free-space propagation (Fresnel transform) are generalized ...
In Part I [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 28, 1896 (2011) of this paper, the physical model for fully developed speckle is examined based on two critical assumptions. (i) It is assumed that in the object plane, the speckle field is ...
When monochromatic light is scattered from an optically rough surface a complicated three-dimensional (3D) field is generated. These fields are often described by reference to the 3D volume (extent) of their speckles, ...
A concise review is presented of research recently carried out within our research
group. Topics discussed include: (i) Imaging through turbulent media using Lucky Imaging
combined with synthetic apertures; (ii) ...
In speckle-based metrology systems, a finite range of possible motion or deformation can be measured. When coherent imaging systems with a single limiting aperture are used in speckle metrology, the observed decorrelation
effects ...
A reflection-based optical implementation of two simultaneous scale-invariant fractional Fourier transforms (FRTs) is used to develop a novel compact speckle photographic system. The system allows the independent determination ...
It is shown that both surface tilting and translational motion can be independently estimated by use of the speckle photographic technique by capturing consecutive images in two different fractional Fourier domains.
A ...
Modeling the propagation of light through free space and simple paraxial systems
continue to be enduring, and practically important topics in optics. Is there anything new or interesting that remains to be said? Given the ...
