We provide a quantitative theory of discrimination between objects with the same color temperature but having different angular spectrum by intensity interferometry. The two-point correlation function of the black body image with extended angular spectrum has significant differences with a correlation function of a black body with a narrow angular...

Context 2
... this section, we demonstrate the correlation functions of synthetic objects created by an overlap of a stellar cluster and CMB background. One synthetic object was created by superimposing a cluster image on the CMB temperature map (Fig. 6), another-by numerically adding up 80% of the contrast of the CMB map and 20% of the star cluster. We distinguish these cases as IIa and ...

Lasers are often used to characterize samples in a non-destructive manner and retrieve sensing information transduced in changes in amplitude and phase. In swept wavelength interferometry, a wavelength-tunable laser is used to measure the complex response (i.e. in amplitude and phase) of an optical sample. This technique leverages continuous advanc...
