We show theoretically that high-order thermal ghost imaging has considerably higher visibility and contrast-to-noise ratio than conventional thermal ghost imaging, which utilizes the lowest-order intensity cross correlation of the object and the reference signal. We also deduce the optimal power order of the correlation that gives the best contrast-to-noise ratio.

Spatial anti-bunching, in contrast to the well-known bunching behavior observed in classical light sources, describes a situation where photons tend to avoid each other in space, resulting in a reduced probability of detecting two or more photons in proximity. This anti-bunching effect, a hallmark of nonclassical light, signifies a deviation from classical intensity fluctuations and has been observed not only in free electrons and entangled photon pairs but also in chaotic-thermal light. This work investigates the generation mechanism of spatial anti-bunching correlation in random light fields, leveraging the wandering of light centers to induce a second-order coherence degree below unity.

Despite rapid progress in UAV-based infrared vehicle detection, achieving reliable target recognition remains challenging due to dynamic viewpoint variations and platform instability. The inherent limitations of infrared imaging, particularly low contrast ratios and thermal crossover effects, significantly compromise detection accuracy. Moreover, the computational constraints of edge computing platforms pose a fundamental challenge in balancing real-time processing requirements with detection performance.

We propose a motion-deblurring GI system with pseudo-thermal light, which can overcome the resolution degradation caused by the axial motion. Both the analytical and experimental results demonstrate that high-resolution GI can be always obtained as long as the target's random motion range is smaller than the system's DOF, without using the prior information of motion estimation.

Calculating ghost imaging based on the SP-ND speckle fields was demonstrated to be of higher visibility, higher spatial resolution and larger depth of field than that based on the conventional speckle fields such as pseudo-thermal fields. Interestingly, the SP-ND speckles are also of self-healing capability in respect of not only the speckle intensity distribution but also the high-order coherence properties.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a complex etiology and diverse pathological processes. The therapeutic effect of single-target drugs is limited, so simultaneous intervention of multiple targets is gradually becoming a new research trend. Critical stages in AD progression involve amyloid-β (Aβ) self-aggregation, metal-ion-triggered fibril formation, and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS).
