Transfer Function Cutoff D/λ Spatial Frequency 1 MTF Cutoff r0/λ
Ideal P.S.F
Long exposure Short Exposure Atmospheric Turbulence Cutoff Frequency limited by D Cutoff Frequency limited by r0 r0
Attainment of Diffraction Limited resolution in Large Telescopes by Fourier Analyzing Speckle patterns in Star Images, A&A
Object Autocorrelation Power Spectrum Object Fourier Amplitude Object Fourier Phase
Speckle Interferometry Transfer Function : >0 up to diffraction limit
The curious case of phase dominance ..
1981 “Importence of phase in signals”
features of the signal are preserved if only phase is retained
conditions phase information is alone sufficient to reconstruct the signal

1. Get the Short exposure frames 2. Do frame by frame fourier transform 3. Get Object Magnitude by Speckle Interferometry 4. Do frame by frame fourier transform 5. Compute average Bispectrum 6. Use Recursion Formulae to retrieve phase 7. Averaging phasor over many iterations 8. Combining Phase and Amplitude to get signal back
Core 2 duo ,4 GB system Computationally efficient Radon Transform versions gave poor reconstruction
