Description

This book discusses statistical methods that are useful for treating problems in modern optics, and the application of these methods to solving a variety of such problemsThis book covers a variety of statistical problems in optics, including both theory and applications. The text covers the necessary background in statistics, statistical properties of light waves of various types, the theory of partial coherence and its applications, imaging with partially coherent light, atmospheric degradations of images, and noise limitations in the detection of light. New topics have been introduced in the second edition, including:Analysis of the Vander Pol oscillator model of laser lightCoverage on coherence tomography and coherence multiplexing of fiber sensorsAn expansion of the chapter on imaging with partially coherent light, including several new examplesAn expanded section on speckle and its propertiesNew sections on the cross-spectrum and bispectrum techniques for obtaining images free from atmospheric distortionsA new section on imaging through atmospheric turbulence using coherent lightThe addition of the effects of “read noise” to the discussions of limitations encountered in detecting very weak optical signalsA number of new problems and many new references have been added Statistical Optics, Second Edition is written for researchers and engineering students interested in optics, physicists and chemists, as well as graduate level courses in a University Engineering or Physics Department.

  • Excellent treatment of a complex topic.
This is a well-written book on a very complex subject with highly diverse applicability. Dr. Goodman is known around the world as an absolute master in Fourier and statistical optics. This book should be on the shelf of anyone working in the field of optics.

  • Excellent book, horrible quality print.
The word 'Wiley' in the lower right corner is really cut at the letter 'Y', and the book looks as if it was a shrunken head. The book costs $120 and they're cutting corners like that in a way that really diminishes the quality of the book and makes it harder to read; the pages inside are also compromised, since it's very hard to read the things on the right edge of the left pages, and the left edge of the right pages, especially that I like to underline some things while reading. I had to take the book for a course, and the book is great. It's the best book to read after finishing Goodman's Fourier Optics, and O'Neill's Statistical Optics (which covers a slightly different area, with many overlapping subjects), and is also an excellent introduction to advanced imaging topics and applications in the real world, either from Remote Sensing, or Medical Imaging. But for a really expensive book, these attempts at cutting corners have really compromised the quality of the book and made it much harder to read. I really wish to give this book a better review, as the book is highly deserving of a good review, but this is print is lousy in its size to merit the higher score, and this proved to be too much of an annoyance.
