Wave Optics

Members of the group deal with the problems of wave optics and development of applications of measurement methods based on the principles of wave and statistical optics. Theoretical results are focused on the advances in complex theory of statistical properties of optical speckle fields including novel numerical model (Sci. World J. 2014, 704368) simulating generation and propagation of speckle fields for various variants of deformation tensor characterizing the surface of the object (rigid body translation, 3D rotation or tranlsation, elastic deformation). Suggested approach has been tested also experimentally in good agreement including determination of limits of applicability, sensitivity and precision. [more]
