Lateral and axial resolution criteria in incoherent and coherent optics and holography, near- and far-field regimes [PDF]
This work presents an overview of the spatial resolution criteria in classical optics, digital optics and holography. Although the classical Abbe and Rayleigh resolution criteria have been thoroughly discussed in the literature, there are still several ...

Quantum coherence generated by interference-induced state selectiveness
The relations between quantum coherence and quantum interference are discussed. A general method for generation of quantum coherence through interference-induced state selection is introduced and then applied to `simple' atomic systems under two-photon ...

Analysis of polarization aberrations of the off-axis pupil freeform optical system
Summary: Freeform surfaces are widely used in off-axis pupil optical systems with large apertures, wide fields of view, and long focal lengths. Polarization effects in such systems significantly influence imaging quality.

Surface characterization in fabrication environments using angle resolved light scattering: From roughness and defect analysis to in-situ coating inspection [PDF]
The performance of an optical component or surface might quicky be limited by light scattering induced by the surface and coating roughness, as well as imperfections and contaminations. On the other hand, the scattered light contains valuable information

An Improved Wavelet Modulus Algorithm Based on Fusion of Light Intensity and Degree of Polarization
Edge detection is the basis of image analysis and image processing. The wavelet modulus maxima algorithm is a widely used edge-detection algorithm. The algorithm has the advantages of strong anti-noise ability and high precision of edge location, but it ...
