Use of Optical Correlation Techniques for Characterizing Scattering Objects and Media

"...this monograph examines the possibilities for diagnostic of light scattering objects & media...with special emphasis on the diagnostics of rough surfaces."

This monograph examines the possibilities for diagnostics of light-scattering objects and media by utilizing the properties of coherent optical radiation. Special emphasis is placed on diagnostics of rough surfaces. Ideas formulated in classical work on statistical radiophysics and optics have been adapted to diagnostic applications. The text includes unique techniques and unconventional methods aimed at obtaining the maximum information available.

Reflecting international efforts in this field, three engineers (two Ukrainian and one Danish) examine the possibilities for diagnostics on light-scattering objects and media by exploiting the properties of coherent optical radiation, emphasizing the diagnostics on the rough surfaces that are used in many branches of industry. They adapt ideas formulated in classical work on statistical radiophysics and optics, and describe unique techniques and unconventional methods for obtaining the maximum information available.
