Thickness estimation is a common task in optical coherence tomography (OCT). This study discusses and quantifies the intensity noise of three commonly used broadband sources, such as a supercontinuum source, a superluminescent diode (SLD), and a swept source. The performance of the three optical sources was evaluated for a thickness estimation task using both the fast Fourier transform (FFT) an...

Small area estimation has received a lot of attention in recent years due to growing demand for reliable small area statistics. Traditional area-specific estimators may not provide adequate precision because sample sizes in small areas are seldom large enough. This makes it necessary to employ indirect estimators based on linking models. Basic area level and unit level models have been extensiv...

Quantum parameter estimation, the ability to precisely obtain a classical value in a quantum system, is very important to many key quantum technologies. Many of these technologies rely on an optical probe, either coherent or squeezed states to make a precise measurement of a parameter ultimately limited by quantum mechanics. We use this technique to theoretically model, simulate and validate by...

Interferometers are widely used as sensors in precision measurement. Compared with a conventional Mach–Zehnder interferometer, the sensitivity of correlation-enhanced nonlinear interferometer can break standard quantum limit. Phase plays significant role enhanced performance. In this paper, we review improvement phase estimation technologies interferometers, including SU(1,1) and SU(1,1)-SU(2) ...

estimation of gold reserves and resources has been of interest to mining engineers and geologists for ages. the existence of outlier values shows the economic part of the deposits subject to the fact that don’t depend on the human or technical errors. the presence of these high values causes a pseudo dramatically increment in variance estimation of economical blocks when applying conventional m...
