这是相干光学的时代，相干光源，从微波到光谱的x射线区域，在日常使用中无处不在。实际上与相干同义的是干涉。当一个相干光源照亮一个大致在一个波长范围内的物体（大多数物体都是这样）时，反射光中具有随机振幅和相位的许多部分波的干涉产生了被称为“斑点”的现象：顾名思义，这是一种明亮和黑暗区域的复杂模式。从20世纪70年代开始，一直持续到今天，关于斑点及其无数应用的研究论文已经，并且仍然以惊人的平均速度发表，每天超过一篇！斑点要留下来了——它是朋友还是敌人？这取决于你对它了解多少，而这正是古德曼的书的切入点。这本书是给谁看的？如果你不仅想知道光学相干层析成像是什么，它是如何工作的，还有它为什么工作，这本书是为你准备的（第6章）。如果你想知道为什么你的相干物质波玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体似乎正在发展麻疹，以及你能做些什么，请阅读第5章。如果您的斑点模式显示了您认为令人兴奋的新统计数据，并且您希望避免在PRL中愚弄自己，请在提交之前阅读第4章。如果你想要一个容易消化的统计光学短期课程（本科生使用1-3章，研究生增加第4章），这本书也适合你；如果满足你的抵押贷款支付取决于你摆脱讨厌的混乱在你的探地雷达图像（阅读第七章）；如果专利局拒绝了你的激光散斑分析器申请，因为审查员无法理解你对其工作原理的解释（请参阅第8章）；如果……那么，这本书是为谁写的？简单的回答是：谁不是为谁写的？
This is the age of coherent optics, with coherent sources, available from the microwave to the x-ray region of the spectrum, in daily use everywhere. Virtually synonymous with coherence is interference. When a coherent source illuminates an object that is rough on the scale of a wavelength, as most objects are, the interference of the many partial waves in the reflected light, with their random amplitudes and phases, produces the phenomenon known as “speckle”: as the name implies, this is a complex pattern of bright and dark areas. Beginning in the nineteen seventies, and continuing unabated up to today, research papers on speckle and its myriad applications have been, and still are, published at an astonishing average rate of more than one a day!Speckle is here to stay—is it friend or foe? That depends upon how much you know about it, which is where Goodman’s book comes in. Who is this book for? Well, if you want to know not only what optical coherence tomography is and how it works, but also why it works, this is the book for you (Chap. 6). If you want to know why your coherent matter-wave Bose-Einstein condensates seem to be developing measles, and what you can do about that, study Chap. 5. If your speckle patterns show what you think are exciting new statistics, and you want to avoid making a fool of yourself in PRL, read Chap. 4 before submitting. This is also the book for you if you want an easily digested short course in statistical optics (for undergraduates use Chaps. 1–3, for graduate students add Chap. 4); if meeting your mortgage payments depends on your getting rid of that pesky clutter in your ground penetrating radar images (read Chap. 7); if the patent office turned down your application for a laser speckle profiler because the examiner couldn’t understand your explanation of how it worked (go over Chap. 8); if... So who is this book for—the simple answer is: who isn’t it for?
