We show theoretically and experimentally that scattered light by thermal phonons inside a second-order nonlinear crystal is the source of additional phase noise observed in optical parametric oscillators. This additional ...

Encrypting techniques are currently of interest in the optical domain. A common issue when using coherent techniques is speckle noise which influences the final results. Most efforts to solve this issue were directed towards ...

The aims of this article are to review the properties of noise in magnitude MR images to clarify the terminology used when referring to the noise and to discourage the use of the terms Rician noise and Rician noise bias. ...

The development of high speed digital signal processors has enabled the migration from previous direct detection systems to digital coherent optical communication systems. The adoption of this technology in optical ...

It is well known that the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is limited by phase noise, which depends on the laser linewidths for coherent-detection radio over fiber (RoF) systems. In this ...

The interplay of noise and quantum coherence in transport gives rise to rich dynamics relevant for a variety of systems. In this work, we put forward a proposal for an experiment testing noise-induced transport in the ...
