چکیده
The design of a digital-optical hybrid correlator is detailed. The optical Fourier transform lens design and mechanical lens housing are detailed as well as the video rate fast Fourier transform digital signal processing (DSP) hardware and overall electronic control. Example results using several different filters and modulation techniques are described.

Unified Pulsed Laser Range Finder and Velocimeter using Ultra-Fast Time-To-Digital Converter
In this paper, we present a high accuracy laser range finder and velocimeter using ultra-fast time-to-digital converter (TDC). The system operation is based on the measuring the round-trip time of a narrow laser pulse. A low-dark current high-speed PIN photodiode is used to detect the triggered laser beam and to produce start signal. The pulsed laser diode generates 45W optical power at 30ns du...

Optical correlator systems due to their inherent parallel processing capabilities have the potential of processing large data bank to enable rapid identification of targets within an input signal. Purely optical correlation systems are not practical for real time applications. In this paper, we discuss and implement the hybrid correlator system. In this system, the input scene is Fourier transf...

متن کاملComputer generated complex filter for an all optical and a digital optical hybrid correlator
We present results of a correlation filter utilising a computer generated hologram using an analogue ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator (SLM). The SLM amplitude modulates light and can induce a 0/π phase shift, which is equivalent to modulating along the real axis. Two pixels are combined into a macropixel using a phase detour technique enabling full complex modulation. The me...
متن کاملOptimized Digital Optical Switch Using Proton Exchanged Lithium Niobate Waveguides
The main emphasis in developing DOS has been on achieving low crosstalk (CT). CT in the order of -30 dB is acceptable in conventional DOS and below that value is hard to achieve. Relatively low drive voltage (or power requirements) is also necessary to optimized DOS. This paper depicts the design of Y-branched digital optical switches (DOS) with optimized on-chip area coverage, reduced driving ...
