Volume Hologram Representations of Space-Variant Optical Systems.
Abstract
Volume holograms may be used to store representations of space-variant optical systems. The thick media contain angle-multiplexed transfer functions of the space-variant optical systems based on a sampled-input plane recording scheme. The holograms are placed in the Fourier plane of a coherent optical processor for playback. A potentially significant space savings over conventional optics may be achieved, in addition to the other advantages normally attributed to hologram optical elements. Recent developments in the theoretical and experimental investigation are presented. (Author)
