    Saha, S. K (Invertis, Inc, 2007)
    A milestone in observational astronomy was achieved when the interferometric fringes of Lyrae (Vega) in the visible band were obtained in July 1974, by A. Labeyrie from an interferometer, called Interferometre a deux ...
  • Astrophotography with high angular and temporal resolution: Preliminary results from the Kavalur Experiments 
    Saha, S. K; Venkatakrishnan, P; Jayarajan, A. P; Jayavel, N (Indian Academy of Sciences, 1987-10)
    Preliminary results in the form of photographs obtained with high angular (≈ 0.”1) and temporal ( ≈ 33 to 6ms) resolutions using 1-m reflector at the Vainu Bappu Observatory in Kavalur are presented. These results demonstrate ...
  • Auto-correlation of Binary stars 
    Saha, S. K; Maitra, D (Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, 2001)
    Speckle interferometric technique is used to record a series of short exposure images of several close binary stars with sub-arcsecond separation through a narrow band filter centred at H$\alpha$ at the Cassegrain focus ...
  • Blind iterative deconvolution of binary star images 
    Saha, S. K; Venkatakrishnan, P (Astronomical Society of India, 1997)
    The technique of Blind Iterative De-convolution (BID) was used to remove the atmospherically induced point spread function (PSF) from short exposure images of two binary stars, HR 5138 and 5747 obtained at the cassegrain ...
  • Computationally efficient method for retrieval of atmospherically distorted astronomical images 
    Surya, A; Saha, S. K (Springer, 2014-12)
    Speckle Imaging based on triple correlation is a very efficient image reconstruction technique which is used to retrieve Fourier phase information of the object in presence of atmospheric turbulence. We have developed both ...
  • Design of a mammary gland specific gamma imaging system (MSGIS) 
    Sarbajit, P; Bhattacharjee, T; Saha, S. K (Macmillan Publishers India Ltd., 2009)
    In conventional X-ray mammography, the presences of a small lesion/tumor at the early stage of cancer are not definitely detected because of the complex anatomy of the breast tissues. On the other hand, the low resolution ...
  • Detectors for the astronomical applications 
    Saha, S. K (Macmillan Publishers India Ltd., 2009)
    Astronomical observations are dependent on focal-plane instruments, and detectors continue to play a key role. The detector technology is evolving rather fast with the large-format CMOS and CCD array mosaics, electron-multiplying ...
