Influence of Partial Coherence on Light Transmission and on Image Formation.
Abstract
This research was primarily concerned with the broad area of optical coherence theory, with special reference to the influence of partial coherence on light transmission. Some newly discovered effects relating to focussing, as well as correction of wave-front distortions by the technique of phase conjugation were also studied; these topics are of special relevance for the understanding of the structure of images, especially those formed with laser light, and for adaptive optics.
