Description for Informational Limits in Optical Polarimetry and Vectorial Imaging
Hardback. This book develops a quantitative definition of polarisation resolution, establishes precision limits in electromagnetic systems, develops modeling tools for propagation of arbitrary electromagnetic fields, and applies these to a number of optical systems. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 248 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PDDM; PHJ; PHU; TTB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 18. Weight in Grams: 537.
Central to this thesis is the characterisation and exploitation of electromagnetic properties of light in imaging and measurement systems. To this end an information theoretic approach is used to formulate a hitherto lacking, quantitative definition of polarisation resolution, and to establish fundamental precision limits in electromagnetic systems. Furthermore rigorous modelling tools are developed for propagation of arbitrary electromagnetic fields, including for example stochastic fields exhibiting properties such as partial polarisation, through high numerical aperture optics. Finally these ideas are applied to the development, characterisation and optimisation of a number of topical optical systems: polarisation imaging; multiplexed optical data storage; and ... Read more
