Classical and quantum imaging and metrology using far field radiation

In this thesis I examine how the statistical properties of radiation limit our ability to perform imaging and metrological procedures. In particular I focus on radiation in the far field zone of the source. The classical and quantum theories of parameter estimation are introduced and subsequently ut...
