1. J. W. Goodman. Some fundamental properties of speckle. J. Opt. Soc. Am., 66(11):1145-1150, November 1976. Keyword(s): Laser light, Laser speckle, Polarization, Spatial frequency, Speckle patterns, Wavefronts.

   Abstract:

   A speckle pattern formed in polarized monochromatic light may be regarded as resulting from a classical random walk in the complex plane. The resulting irradiance fluctuations obey negative exponential statistics, with ratio of standard deviation to mean (i.e., contrast) of unity. Reduction of this contrast, or smoothing of the speckle, requires diversity in polarization, space, frequency, or time. Addition of M uncorrelated speckle patterns on an intensity basis can reduce the contrast by 1/{ extsurd}M. However, addition of speckle patterns on a complex amplitude basis provides no reduction of contrast. The distribution of scale sizes in a speckle pattern (i.e., the Wiener spectrum) is investigated from a physical point of view.

This collection of SAR literature is far from being complete.
It is rather a collection of papers which I store in my literature data base. Hence, the list of publications under PUBLICATIONS OF AUTHOR'S NAME should NOT be mistaken for a complete bibliography of that author.
