The remote sensing technique has been widely applied in global topographic survey, e.g., for computing a digital elevation model (DEM). The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is able to perform a synoptic monitoring of the Earth under all-weather and day-and-night conditions. Among the SAR-derived DEM reconstruction techniques, four different methods, i.e., clinometry, grammetry, interferometry and...

Affected by natural and human-induced factors, cultural heritage sites and their surroundings face threats of structural instability and land displacement. Accurate and rapid identification of the key areas facing existing or potential deformation risks is essential for the conservation and sustainability of heritage sites, particularly for huge archaeological regions. In recent years, the succ...

Passive seismic methods using earthquakes can be applied for extracting body waves and obtaining information of subsurface structure. To analyze earthquake data, one traditionally uses receiver functions, tomography, and seismic interferometry. In this study, we retrieve reflected body waves by applying seismic interferometry to the recorded ground motion from a cluster of earthquakes. We emplo...

A slightly-off-axis interferometry based Hilbert phase microscopy (HPM) method is developed to quantitatively obtain the phase distribution. Owing to its single-shot nature and details detection ability, HPM can be used to investigate rapid phenomena that take place in transparent structures such as biological cells. Moreover, the slightly-off-axis interferometry owns higher effective bandwidth...

Dual-comb interferometry is a measurement technique that uses two laser frequency combs to retrieve complex spectra in a line-by-line basis. This technique can be implemented with electro-optic frequency combs, offering intrinsic mutual coherence, high acquisition speed and flexible repetition-rate operation. A challenge with the operation of this kind of frequency comb in dual-comb interferome...

Highest resolution imaging in astronomy is achieved by interferometry, connecting telescopes over increasingly longer distances and at successively shorter wavelengths. Here, we present the first diffraction-limited images in visual light, produced by an array of independent optical telescopes, connected electronically only, with no optical links between them. With an array of small telescopes,...

The state of the art of both airborne and space-borne SAR systems with polarimetric interferometry capability, their technological, system technical and application related specifications, and recent results obtained as well are presented shortly with respect to there relevance for Polarimetry and Interferometry capabilities. Space-borne SAR interferometry in two pass mode reaches altitude accu...

Seismic interferometry has become a technology of growing interest for imaging borehole seismic data. We demonstrate that interferometry of internal multiples can be used to image targets above a borehole receiver array. By “internal multiples” we refer to all types of waves that scatter multiple times inside the model. These include, for instance, interbed, intra-salt and water-bottom multiple...
