H. P. Baltes We begin the introductory chapter with a general
definition of the inverse optical problem. Next, we discuss the
role of prior knowledge and the questions of uniqueness and
stability. We then review the various specific inverse problems in
optics as well as the contents of Chapters 2 to 6. Finally, we
summarize the notation in co herence theory. 1. 1 Direct and
Inverse Problems in Optical Physics The "direct" or "normal"
problem in optical physics is to: Jredict the emission or
propagation of radiation on the basis of a known constitution of
sources or scat terers. The "inverse" or "indirect" problem is to
deduce features of sources or scatterers from the detection of
radiation. An intuitive solution of the optical inverse problem is
commonplace: we infer the size, shape, surface texture, and ma
terial of objects from their scattering and absorption of light as
detected by our eyes. Intuition has to give way to mathematical
reconstruction as soon as we wish to analyze optical data beyond
their visual appearance. Examples are the extrapola tion and
deblurring of optical images, the reconstruction from intuitively
inacces sible data such as defocused images and interferograms, or
the search for information that is "lost" in the detection process
such as the phase. Following CHADAN and SABATIER 1. 1], a general
definition of inverse optical problems can be attempted as follows.
We describe the sources and scatterers by the set (1."
