Modern optical astronomy: technology and impact of interferometry

SK Saha - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2002 - APS
The present “state of the art” and the path to future progress in high-spatial-resolution
imaging interferometry is reviewed. The review begins with a treatment of the fundamentals …

Detectors for the astronomical applications

SK Saha - 2009 International Conference on Emerging Trends …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Astronomical observations are dependent on focal-plane instruments, and detectors
continue to play a key role. The detector technology is evolving rather fast with the large …

Speckle Interferometric Technique for Astronomical Observations

SK Saha - Journal of Optics, 2003 - Springer
The speckle imaging is a photographic technique that resolves objects viewed through
severely distorted media. The results are insensitive to the errors caused by apparent size of …

Sensors for the high resolution astronomical imaging

SK Saha - 2008 2nd National Workshop on Advanced …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Optical interferometry with single aperture, as well as with multi-aperture require high quality
sensor that enables to obtain snap shots with a very fast time resolution of the order of (i) …

Micro-fluctuations of fried's parameter (ro)

SK Saha, L Yeswanth - 2004 - prints.iiap.res.in
The atmospheric coherence is a highly variable parameter depending upon the high velocity
wind. The size of the atmospheric coherence length widely known as, Fried's parameter, ro …

Speckle Imaging: a boon for astronomical observations

SK Saha - arXiv preprint astro-ph/0003125, 2000 - arxiv.org
The speckle imaging is a photographic technique that resolves objects viewed through
severely distorted media. The results are insensitive to the errors caused by apparent size of …

High resolution imaging by employing passive and active approaches

SK Saha - arXiv preprint astro-ph/0304230, 2003 - arxiv.org
This article begins with the discussions on the formation of speckles in the case of non-
coherent quasi monochromatic source and of ways to detect them. Prior to this, a brief …
