Two-dimensional equalization in coherent and incoherent page-oriented optical memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The low-pass nature of the optical systems (both coherent and incoherent) used for volume optical storage results in the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) at the output of these systems. Since ISI can seriously degrade retrieved data fidelity, we consider the design of linear, minimum-mean-square-error equalizers for two-dimensional finite-contrast optical ISI channels. Signal models are developed and filter design is conducted for various operating environments associated with particular implementations of page-oriented optical memories (POM’s). Specifically, we consider optically incoherent systems dominated by either postdetection thermal or photon-shot noise, and coherent systems are treated subject to either postdetection thermal or coherent speckle noise. Simple locally connected postdetection filters (equalizers) are designed to reduce the impact of ISI and finite contrast on retrieved data. It is demonstrated how these simple ISI mitigation algorithms may be used to improve the fidelity (i.e., bit error rate) of retrieved data and also to enhance the space– bandwidth-product (SBP), the storage density, and the memory capacity of POM systems. The notion of a fidelity-based SBP is quantified and shown to depend strongly on the receiver processing. The fidelity-based SBP of thermal-noise-dominated incoherent imaging systems operating at the Rayleigh resolution is shown to improve by 28% through the use of equalization, and a 48% SBP increase is found in the shot-noise-dominated case. More dramatic gains are found for thermal-noise-dominated coherent systems operating at the Rayleigh resolution, with 116% SBP gains typical in the infinite-contrast case and 30% gains possible for low-contrast (C ! 4) cases. Equalization is also shown to facilitate a capacity increase for holographic POM systems, providing a 47% increase in the number of stored pages and the storage density for a system operating at the Rayleigh resolution. The maximum storage density in holographic POM is increased by 20% through the use of equalization. © 1999 Optical Society of America [S0740-3232(99)01403-9] OCIS codes: 210.0210, 200.0200, 210.2860, 110.4280, 100.2550.

A STUDY OF GAMMA RAY EXPOSURE BUILDUP FACTORS IN STRATIFIED SHIELDS FOR POINT ISOTROPIC SOURCES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF INCOHERENT AND COHERENT SCATTERING
The effects of including incoherent (bound-electron) and coherent (Rayleigh) scattering in exposure buildup factor calculations for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer water-lead shield have been investigated in the gamma ray energy (E?) range of 40 keV to 3 MeV. Incoherent scattering decreases the values of these factors in both layers up to E? ~ 200 keV and the effect i...

متن کاملCoherent optical OFDM: has its time come? [Invited]
There has been growing interest in coherent optical orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (CO-OFDM). We aim to present the case that the time for CO-OFDM has come, in terms of the demand from today’s ever-advancing optical networks and the availability of its underlying technologies. We first lay out the signal processing aspect for CO-OFDM and then show a 2 2 multiple-input–multiple-output...

In this paper, we construct the Gazeau-Klauder coherent states of a two- dimensional harmonic oscillator on a sphere based on two equivalent approaches. First, we consider the oscillator on the sphere as a deformed (non-degenerate) one-dimensional oscillator. Second, the oscillator on the sphere is considered as the usual (degenerate) two--dimensional oscillator. Then, by investigating the quan...
متن کاملIncoherent Digital Holography: A Review
Digital holography (DH) is a promising technique for modern three-dimensional (3D) imaging. Coherent holography records the complex amplitude of a 3D object holographically, giving speckle noise upon reconstruction and presenting a serious drawback inherent in coherent optical systems. On the other hand, incoherent holography records the intensity distribution of the object, allowing a higher s...
