Composite Matched Filters.

Abstract

In a paper and in the proposal we showed that the power of computer optimization could be combined with the good features of optical matched filters by constructing composite matched filters of the form: This report covers our attempt to synthesize those filters optically. Test the resulting CMF what we found experimentally is that actually accomplishing this task is beyond the state-of-art. The reasons, in retrospect, are perfectly clear. The program outlined places much more severe strains on the equipment and materials than has ever been placed by ordinary holography.
