On the military battlefield, atmospheric turbulence significantly deteriorates the performance of tactical and long-range imaging systems used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations. In addition, it creates difficulties for target acquisition, identification and recognition. Traditionally, turbulence mitigation methods are applied to...
When physics students are introduced to imaging, it is typically with reference to a single-lens imaging system. See Fig. 1. Optical rays, drawn as straight lines, show that a lens is capable of reproducing an object that exists in space. Why then are real optical systems, like the camera lens represented in Fig. 2, so much more complex? The simple answer...
The fractional calculus, a branch of mathematics formulated alongside classical calculus, has drawn the attention of physical, biological and engineering sciences in the last decade. Although its development started in 1695, only in recent decades has it been regarded as a tool with real-world applications rather than a concept that is purely in the mathematical...
