Coherence requirements for partially coherent optical processing
Abstract:
The mutual intensity function for a partially coherent light is used to develop an expression for the output intensity distribution for a broadband optical information processor. The coherence requirement for smeared image deblurring and image subtraction is then determined using the intensity distribution. We also quantitatively show the dependence of coherence criteria on the spectral bandwidth, the source size, deblurring width, spatial frequency, and the separation of input object transparencies.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
