SPIE Call for Papers - Special OE section on Active Imaging

SPIE Optical Engineering will be publishing a Special Section on Active Imaging, guest edited by Edward A. Watson. The submission deadline is 1 September 2011.

Original papers are solicited on, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Novel component technologies: sources for active imaging systems; receiver and camera technologies, including innovative read-out integrated circuitry; agile apertures for control of laser waveforms; postdetection processing of received waveforms

• 3-D active-imaging systems: scanned and "Flash"

• Novel active-imaging system concepts: synthetic aperture imaging systems, structured illumination imaging systems, polarization and spectral imaging systems

• Waveform definition and optimization

• Speckle: reduction and utilization

• Photon counting components, systems, and applications

• Demonstrations and applications of active-imaging systems

Manuscripts due September 1, 2011.
