We derive here an approach to the nonlinear control of a particular autonomous underwater vehicle architecture. This approach is based on state-variable feedback and estimation in the nonlinear settin...
By adjusting the spatial coherence of a quasi-monochromatic beam, one can control the distance between two volumes of coherence. We propose to use such a beam in a typical scattering experiment and pr...
We describe a new imaging polarimeter that is based on a modified Sagnac interferometer and allows full polarimetric description of complex random electromagnetic beams from only two images as compare...
Starting from the concepts of coherence and polarization, we generalize the conventional degree of polarization, introducing a two-point parameter, the complex degree of mutual polarization V, which i...
The statistical properties of the intensity in close proximity to highly scattering, randomly inhomogeneous media are investigated. Whereas the intensity probability density function obeys the same la...
We demonstrate a compact, spatially resolved polarimeter based on a coherent optical fiber bundle coupled with a thin layer of scattering centers. The use of scattering for polarization encoding allow...
Fetal stroke can occur between the 14th week of pregnancy and the beginning of labor. The incidence is approximately 17-35 of 100,000 live births. Risk factors are correlated to the mother, the pregna...
We propose and demonstrate the feasibility of a new microscopic technique, which is based on variable coherence illumination. By manipulating the spatial coherence properties of an incident evanescent...
