White Light Optical Processing and Holography.

Abstract

Methods for doing optical processing, holography and phase conjugation in light of reduced coherence are described. Analysis shows that even with greatly reduced constrast, the signals recorded in incoherent light have a higher Signal to Noise Ratio than if the light were coherent. Experimental results are shown.
