This paper considers wave-based imaging through a heterogeneous (random) scattering medium. The goal is to estimate the support of the reflectivity function of a remote scene from measurements of the backscattered wave field. The proposed imaging methodology is based on the coherent interferometric (CINT) approach that exploits the local empirical cross correlations of the measurements of the wave field. The standard CINT images are known to be robust (statistically stable) with respect to the random medium, but the stability comes at the expense of a loss of resolution. This paper shows that a two-point CINT function contains the information needed to obtain statistically stable and high-resolution images. Different methods to build such images are presented, theoretically analyzed and compared with the standard imaging approaches using numerical simulations. The first method involves a phase-retrieval step to extract the reflectivity function from the modulus of its Fourier transform. The second method involves the evaluation of the leading eigenvector of the two-point CINT imaging function seen as the kernel of a linear operator. The third method uses an optimization step to extract the reflectivity function from some cross products of its Fourier transform. The presentation is for the synthetic aperture radar data acquisition setup, where a moving sensor probes the scene with signals emitted periodically and records the resulting backscattered wave. The generalization to other imaging setups, with passive or active arrays of sensors, is discussed briefly.

Intensity interferometry (II) exploits the second-order correlation to acquire the spatial frequency information of an object, which has been used to observe distant stars since 1950s. However, due to unreliability of employed imaging reconstruction
algorithms, II can only image simple and sparse objects such as double stars. We here develop a method that overcomes this unreliability problem and enables imaging complex objects by combing II and a ptychography iterative algorithm. Different from previous ptychography iterative-type algorithms that work only for diffractive objects using coherence light sources, our method obtains the objects spatial spectrum from the second-order correlation of intensity fluctuation by using an incoherent source, which therefore largely simplifies the imaging process. Furthermore, by introducing loose supports in the ptychography algorithm, a high-quality image can be recovered without knowing the precise size and position of the scanning illumination, which is a strong requirement for traditional ptychography iterative algorithm.
It is well-known that the degeneracy of two-phase microstructures with the same volume fraction and two-point correlation function $S_2(mathbf{r})$ is generally infinite. To elucidate the degeneracy problem explicitly, we examine Debye random media,
which are entirely defined by a purely exponentially decaying two-point correlation function $S_2(r)$. In this work, we consider three different classes of Debye random media. First, we generate the most probable class using the Yeong-Torquato construction algorithm. A second class of Debye random media is obtained by demonstrating that the corresponding two-point correlation functions are effectively realized in the first three space dimensions by certain models of overlapping, polydisperse spheres. A third class is obtained by using the Yeong-Torquato algorithm to construct Debye random media that are constrained to have an unusual prescribed pore-size probability density function. We structurally discriminate these three classes of Debye random media from one another by ascertaining their other statistical descriptors, including the pore-size, surface correlation, chord-length probability density, and lineal-path functions. We also compare and contrast the percolation thresholds as well as the diffusion and fluid transport properties of these degenerate Debye random media. We find that these three classes of Debye random media are generally distinguished by the aforementioned descriptors and their microstructures are also visually distinct from one another. Our work further confirms the well-known fact that scattering information is insufficient to determine the effective physical properties of two-phase media. Additionally, our findings demonstrate the importance of the other two-point descriptors considered here in the design of materials with a spectrum of physical properties.
We analyze how light-induced coherent population oscillations and ground-state Zeeman coherence in an atomic medium with degenerate two-level transitions can modify spectra of applied cw resonant radiation at the sub-mW power level. The use of mutual
ly coherent optical fields and heterodyne detection schemes allows spectral resolution at kHz level, well below the laser linewidth. We find that ground-state Zeeman coherence may facilitate nonlinear wave mixing while coherent population oscillations are responsible for phase and amplitude modulation of the applied fields. Conditions for the generation of new optical fields by nonlinear wave mixing in degenerate two-level atomic media are formulated.
This paper is concerned with the development of imaging methods to localize sources or reflectors in inhomogeneous moving media with acoustic waves that have travelled through them. A typical example is the localization of broadband acoustic sources
in a turbulent jet flow for aeroacoustic applications. The proposed algorithms are extensions of Kirchhoff migration (KM) and coherent interferometry (CINT) which have been considered for smooth and randomly inhomogeneous quiescent media so far. They are constructed starting from the linearized Euler equations for the acoustic perturbations about a stationary ambient flow. A model problem for the propagation of acoustic waves generated by a fixed point source in an ambient flow with constant velocity is addressed. Based on this result imaging functions are proposed to modify the existing KM and CINT functions to account for the ambient flow velocity. They are subsequently tested and compared by numerical simulations in various configurations, including a synthetic turbulent jet representative of the main features encountered in actual jet flows.
This is the first of a series of papers devoted to develop a microscopical approach to the dipole emission process and its relation to coherent transport in random media. In this Letter, we deduce general expressions for the decay rate of spontaneous
emitters and the power emission of induced dipoles embedded in homogenous dielectric media. We derive formulae which apply generically to virtual cavities and, in the continuum approximation, to small real cavities.
