A compact lens-less optical image encoding system using diffraction grating
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for a compact lens-less image encoding system using diffraction grating and random phase masks is presented. Lensless double phase encoding is implemented using diffraction grating. The Beam Propagation Method (BPM) is used to analyze optical waveguide grating. The phase keys functions and grating parameters are the encryption keys. Simulation results are presented in support of the proposed idea. Results are compared to the conventional Double random phase encoding (DRPE) method. The robustness and performance of the proposed technique is analyzed using the mean-square-error (MSE)

Achromatic optical fourier transformer with planar-integrated free-space optics.
We address the problem of achromatization of an optical system for the realization of planar-integrated, free-space optics. In particular we demonstrate an integrated optical Fourier transformation module that was achromatized for the visible spectrum by means of a diffractive lens doublet. The optical system design is studied by using the parabolic approximation of the scalar diffraction theor...
متن کاملRotating diffraction grating laser beam scanner.
The resolution, bandwidth, and duty cycle of a laser beam scanner make it useful as an image recorder. Laser image recorders can have either a flatfield or a cylindrical recording surface, the flatfield being preferable in applications where dimensional stability is extremely important . A problem with flat field recording systems is the difficulty in obtaining a constant scan rate. This diffic...
متن کاملA new mechanism for negative refraction and focusing using selective diffraction from surface corrugation.
Refraction at a smooth interface is accompanied by momentum transfer normal to the interface. We show that corrugating an initially smooth, totally reflecting, non-metallic interface provides a momentum kick parallel to the surface, which can be used to refract light negatively or positively. This new mechanism of negative refraction is demonstrated by visible light and microwave experiments on...
متن کاملRigorous analysis of diffraction gratings of arbitrary profiles using virtual photonic crystals.
A new approach is developed to calculate diffraction efficiency for a dielectric grating with an arbitrary refractive index profile. By treating a one-dimensional grating as a segment of a virtual two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal, we exploit a rigorous theory of photonic crystal refraction and calculate the diffraction efficiencies. We expand, analytically in many cases, the dielectric fun...
متن کاملSynthetic aperture microscopy based on referenceless phase retrieval with an electrically tunable lens.
Phase imaging microscopy, based either on holography or nonholographic methods such as phase retrieval, has seen considerable attention recently. Phase retrieval offers the advantage of being free of a reference arm and enables a more stable and compact setup. We present an optical setup that provides enhanced resolution by implementing synthetic aperture imaging based on phase retrieval using ...
