Abstract
A coherent imaging system with speckle noise is devised and analyzed. This demonstrates the possibility of improving the nonlinear transmission of a coherent image by increasing the level of the multiplicative speckle noise. This noise-assisted image transmission is a novel instance of stochastic resonance phenomena by which nonlinear signal processing benefits from a constructive action of noise.
