Performance analysis of low-flux least-squares single-pixel imaging

A single-pixel camera is able to computationally form spatially resolved images using one photodetector and a spatial light modulator. The images it produces in low-light-level operation are imperfect, even when the number of measurements exceeds the number of pixels, because its photodetection measurements are corrupted by Poisson noise. Conventional performance analysis for single-pixel imaging generates estimates of mean-square error (MSE) from Monte Carlo simulations, which require long computational times. In this letter, we use random matrix theory to develop a closed-form approximation to the MSE of the widely used least-squares inversion method for Poisson noise-limited single-pixel imaging. We present numerical experiments that validate our approximation and a motivating example showing how our framework can be used to answer practical optical design questions for a single-pixel camera.This work was supported in part by the Samsung Scholarship and in part by the US National Science Foundation under Grant 1422034.

Karl Valentin’s Illogical Subversion: issues arising from Karl Valentin’s Das Aquarium and Liesl Karlstadt’s Verein der Katzenfreund

Valentin Ludwig Fey was born on 4 June 1882 in the Munich suburb of Au, effectively the only child of an artisan-class family – his sister and two brothers all died in early childhood before Valentin Ludwig was even six months old. Valentin himself only narrowly survived a childhood encounter with diptheria (all of which, perhaps unsurprisingly, contributed to his ever-increasing hypochondria1), but he went on to become Karl Valentin, arguably the most famous German comedian and cabaret performer of his generation

Transit Time and Charge Correlations of Single Photoelectron Events in R7081 PMTs

During the calibration phase of the photomultiplier tubes (PMT) for the Double Chooz experiment the PMT response to light with single photoelectron (SPE) intensity was analysed. With our setup we were able to measure the combined transit time and charge response of the PMT and therefore we could deconstruct and analyse all physical effects having an influence on the PMT signal. Based on this analysis charge and time correlated probability density functions were developed to include the PMT response in a Monte Carlo simulation.Comment: minor changes by referee reques

Double-sampled cascaded sigma-delta modulator topologies for low oversampling ratios

This paper presents novel double-sampling cascaded sigma-delta modulator topologies for wideband applications. The proposed modulator structures employ finite impulse response (FIR) noise transfer function (NTF) to achieve the aggressive noise shaping with an additional zero at the half of the sampling frequency to alleviate the quantization noise folding. Cascading of the proposed modulator structures is very simple without any additional circuit requirements.Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología TIC2003-0235
