84. William H. Carter, Three-dimensional Remote Sensing by Optical Scanning Holography: Comment, Appl. Opt. LP 41, 5668-5671(2002).

Item 82 is the manuscript for a book chapter on classical coherence theory. It was written as a encyclopedia style tutorial for looking up commonly used concepts and terminology. It is intended for trained physicists who need a beginning reference on this subject.


2. A full list of reprints from the published scientific papers of William H. Carter, some joint papers with Emil Wolf, and some joint papers with other colleagues.

I have reprints and some manuscripts for these published papers in my computer. I will post them upon request since reprints are not available, to my knowledge, through NRL


Don't try to contact me at the Naval Research Laboratory. They retired me, along with almost every one else about my age in a giant reduction in force in 1993. They have never bothered to forward my mail or messages so direct any questions to me at wcarter1@wwcom.net .
