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 ...
The amplitude-encoding case of the double random phase encoding technique is examined by defining a cost function as a metric to compare an attempted decryption against the corresponding original input image. For
the case ...
We demonstrate an optical system that encodes two dimensional data as different polarization states. The encrypted image is recorded using a digital holographic setup and the decryption is done numerically.
Potential extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray radiation sources have been identified, using the flexible atomic code (FAC), as emission peaks arising from the 4d–4f and 4p–4d transitions in Pd-like to Rb-like ions of hafnium ...
The number of samples required for efficient numerical simulation of wave propagation can be determined by a combination of Wigner phase-space techniques, wave energy confinement arguments, and a theorem relating
energy ...
If we sample a scalar wave field, it becomes periodic in frequency. We examine the
cross-terms which occur between these periodic replicas in the Wigner-Ville distribution function of such a signal. We present analytic ...
A method is defined and tested for the classification of forest species from multi-spectral data, based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and key vector analysis. The SVD technique, which bears a close resemblance to ...
An efficient algorithm for the accurate computation of the linear canonical transform with complex transform parameters and with complex output variable is presented. Sampling issues are discussed and the requirements for ...
The linear canonical transform provides a mathematical model of paraxial propagation though quadratic phase systems. We review the literature on numerical approximation of this transform, including discretization,
sampling, ...
The relationship between optical fractional Fourier transforms (OFRTs) obtained at different wavelengths is derived by use of the ABCD matrix formalism. It is shown that varying the wavelength while retaining the
same ...
