Abstract:We present an information-geometric perspective on a generic spectral-analysis task pertaining to a vast class of optical measurements in which a parameter θ needs to be evaluated from θ-dependent spectral features in a measurable optical readout. We show that the spectral shift and line broadening driven by small Δθ variations can be isolated as orthogonal components in a Pythagorean-theorem extension for a Euclidean distance in the space of probability distributions, representing the Δθ-induced information g… Show more
