Digital correlation hologram implemented on optical correlator

چکیده
A new kind of computer-generated hologram termed digital correlation hologram (DCH) has been developed and demonstrated with promising results. This hologram is composed of two separate sub-holograms. The reconstructed image is obtained as a result of a spatial correlation between the hologram's two parts. The DCH codes two complex functions which are generated by an iterative optimization procedure. The correlation between the two sub-holograms is implemented by means of a joint transform correlator (JTC). When the double-elements hologram is displayed on the JTC input plane, and illuminated by a plane wave, a desired image is constructed on part of the correlator output plane. The DCH can be used for security and encryption systems, as the desired image will be received in the output plane only when the two specific sub-holograms are placed at the input plane of the JTC. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the suggested technique.

Digital correlation holograms implemented on a joint transform correlator
A system of two separated computer-generated holograms termed digital correlation hologram (DCH) is proposed and demonstrated. In each hologram a different computer-generated complex function is coded. The reconstructed image is obtained as a result of a spatial correlation between the hologram s two parts. The correlation between the two sub-holograms is implemented on a modified joint transfo...
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 کاملOptical correlation of spatial-frequency-shifted images in a photorefractive BSO correlator.
The optical cross correlation of an image with another image that was spatial-frequency shifted in one dimension was demonstrated in a photorefractive VanderLugt correlator. The first image was stored as a Fourier-transform hologram in a photorefractive Bi12SiO20 crystal (BSO) and was successively correlated with different spatial-frequency-shifted versions of a second image. We implemented the...
متن کاملPure phase correlator with photorefractive filter memory.
We report on the investigation of a new compact configuration of an inverted VanderLugt-type correlator system. The phase of the Fourier transform of the image to be recognized is displayed on a phase-modulating electrically addressed spatial light modulator. This phase display is compared with the phase of the Fourier transforms of a reference library recorded in a photorefractive LiNbO(3) cry...
متن کاملSingle-shot self-interference incoherent digital holography using off-axis configuration.
We propose a single-shot incoherent holographic imaging technique that adopts self-interference incoherent digital holography (SIDH) with slight tilt of the plane mirror in the optical configuration. The limited temporal coherence length of the illumination leads the guide-star hologram of the proposed system to have a Gaussian envelope of elliptical ring shape. The observation shows that the r...
