Coherence versus interferometric resolution
Coherence is a key concept in optics derived from the statistical nature of real light beams [1–3]. Coherence is usually understood as the principal requisite for good quality interference fringes. In this work we show from a quantum metrological perspective that this is not always the case, so that optimum interference and second-order coherence may become antithetical. More specifically, we f...
متن کاملCoherence and visibility for vectorial light.
Two-path interference of transversal vectorial waves is embedded within a larger scheme: this is four-path interference between four scalar waves. This comprises previous approaches to coherence between vectorial waves and restores the equivalence between correlation-based coherence and visibility.
متن کاملInterferometric coherence optimization using the polarimetric signatures
The coherence optimization based on the eigenvalues in radar polarimetry is used to enhance the quality of SAR interferograms. A second and an alternative coherence optimization algorithm which consists in looking at the possible coherence for every combination of elliptical polarizations extracted from the polarimetric signatures and selecting the highest one is also developed, tested and comp...
متن کاملSar Interferometric Coherence in Wide Band Systems
This paper presents a study of the interferometric coherence aimed to the understanding of the main sources of phase error of an operative wide band system. This objective is accomplished by finding a theoretical expression of coherence based on a suitable model capable of including the roughness of the surface, which produces decorrelation besides the conventional spectral overlapping approach...
متن کاملCoherence Multiplexing of Fiber-optic Interferometric Sensors
This paper describes a method of multiplexing several optical signals onto a single spatial channel (e.g., a single-mode fiber) using a short coherence length continuous wave light source. Several system configurations which utilize this technique are proposed, and some design considerations are discussed. Experimental results for a single sensor and receiver are presented and compared with the...
