Computational Optical Coherence and Statistical Optics presents current approaches for simulating random optical fields with prescribed statistical properties. This book will benefit students studying statistical optics as well as researchers and engineers working on applications that deal with or exploit optical coherence, such as astronomy, optical coherence tomography, beam shaping, ghost imaging, and speckle mitigation. In addition, it will be useful to instructors or teachers of statistical optics. Using the simulation approaches presented in the book, instructors can create demonstrations of foundational statistical optics concepts, which will augment the theory presented in the classic pedagogical texts by Joseph W. Goodman and Emil Wolf.
