The ability of dynamic extraction of remote sounds is very appealing. In this manuscript we
propose an optical approach allowing the extraction and the separation of remote sound …

We present a novel technique for remote noncontact blood pulse pressure measurement. It
is based on tracking both temporal and amplitude changes of reflected secondary speckle …

This book deals with the latest achievements in the field of optical coherent microscopy. While
many other books exist on microscopy and imaging, this book provides a unique resource …

The Gerchberg–Saxton (G–S) algorithm is a well-known procedure used in various optical
implementations. One of its most common applications is beam shaping of an input plane. In …

An optical setup to achieve superresolution in microscopy using holographic recording is
presented. The technique is based on off-axis illumination of the object and a simple optical …

The space–bandwidth product (SW) is fundamental for judging the performance of an optical
system. Often the SW of a system is defined only as a pure number that counts the degrees …

One of the most basic optical ‘components’ is free-space propagation. A common approximation
used when calculating the resultant field distribution after propagation is the Fresnel …

We have generalized the Hilbert transform by defining the fractional Hilbert transform (FHT)
operation. In the first stage, two different approaches for defining the FHT are suggested. …

This book explores ways to improve the classical resolution limits of an imaging system.
Various approaches dealing with exceeding the limita tions of the lens aperture, the pixel's size …

We present a modified Gabor-like setup able to recover the complex amplitude distribution of
the object wavefront from a set of inline recorded holograms. The proposed configuration is …
