Space-Variant Optical Systems.

Abstract

Both experimental and analytical investigations of 1-D and 2-D, coherent and incoherent space-variant optical processors have been conducted. The investigations included 1) continuation of a previous work on multiplexed holograms with phase-coded reference beams, 2) construction of a computer-controlled laser plotter, 3) design of incoherent processors which use color as an extra parameter, 4) applications of acousto-optical modulators and time-integrating detectors to space-variant processors, 5) initiation of piecewise-isoplanatic model investigations, and 6) initiation of studies on the use of space-variant systems for binary numerical optical computing. Keywords include: Space-Variant Optcial Processing, Multiplex Holography, Numerical Optical Processing, Hologram Optical Elements, Computer-Generated Holograms, Incoherent Optical Processing.
