Ghost imaging with thermal light is a topic in optical imaging that has aroused great interest
in recent years. However, the imaging quality must be greatly improved before the …

We consider classical second-order ghost imaging with uniformly partially polarized
electromagnetic beams and examine the effect of the degree of polarization of the incident …

Recently, there has been a controversy about the dependence of the visibility of the ghost
image on the degree of polarization (DOP) of a stochastic electromagnetic beam because of …

We present a technique for studying the polarimetric properties of a birefringent object by
means of classical ghost diffraction. The standard ghost diffraction setup is modified to …

Within the validity of the first-order Born approximation, expressions are derived for the
correlation between intensity fluctuations (CIF) of an electromagnetic plane wave scattered …

We discuss theoretically the visibility and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of high-order thermal
ghost imaging with natural light. Five cases of an object beam and a reference beam with …

Classical ghost imaging is a correlation-imaging technique in which the image of the object
is found through intensity correlations of light. We analyze three different quality parameters …

We theoretically study the high-order correlation functions of chaotic bosons and fermions.
Based on the different parity of the Stirling number, the products of the first-order correlation …

Within the first-order Born approximation, we introduce the third-order correlation between
intensity fluctuation (CIF) of light scattered from a quasi-homogeneous (QH) medium. By …

Based on the first-order Born approximation, the correlation between intensity fluctuations is
derived for a partially coherent, electromagnetic plane wave scattering from a spatially quasi …
