Joseph W. Goodman

Stanford University

Abstract:
In this talk I will discuss certain symmetries in the Fourier spectrum of speckle from smooth surfaces and the effects these symmetries have on image speckle contrast. The cases examined are bright-field imaging, dark-field imaging, and single-sideband imaging.

Biography:
Joseph W. Goodman received the A.B. Degree in Engineering and Applied Physics from Harvard University in 1958, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1960 and 1963, respectively.
