To achieve stand-off sensing applications,ghost imaging experiments with pseudothermal light were performed from transmissive to reflective cases.First, ghost images of a transmissive double-slit aperture were retrieved in a setup that both the reference beam and signal beam were collected with two different regions of a single CCD.Then a CCD and a separate bucket detector were used to record the light intensity information of the reference beam and the signal beam,respectively.By calculating the intensity correlation function of the signal beam with no spatial light distribution and the spatial dependent reference beam that does not interact with the object,ghost images of a transmissive object and a reflective object were achieved.In order to design and develop prototype systems field applicable,detailed experimental investigations were performed to compare the effect of system parameters on the quality of imaging in the transmission configuration.The results show that enough high power of light source,large sample numbers,and proper exposure time and spatial frequency bandwidth can lead to ghost image with good resolution and visibility.
