The paper reviews the usage of modular optical systems for nonlinear data processing and manipulation. The paper starts with presenting an algorithm for multi stage image processing in which a derivation of instillation having N stages of binary filters is used in order to generate general transformation and then to apply it for pattern recognition. Then, optical configuration that implements second order of Volterra operator is used for non-linear control processes. In the third part of the paper a fuzzy logic based algorithm is used in order to optimize the design of multi stage interconnection network (MIN). The optimization is done in a sense of minimal number of switching modules and minimal number of switching operations per routing stage. In the fourth part we present a technique for optical generation of fuzzy based rules. In the last part of the paper we suggest a fuzzy logic based technique for improving the depth of focus in an imaging system using as single-phase only filter. All the suggested pmcessing configurations are backed up with either simulations or experimental verifications.

The fractional Fourier transform (FRT), which is a generalization of the well-known ordinary Fourier transform, is being increasingly used in many applications of optics. The FRT is richer in theory and more flexible in applications and at the same time not more costly in implementation. Pattern recognition, one of the widely pursued application areas in the domain of optical information processing, has benefited immensely with the use of FRT in optical correlators. Similarly optoelectronic encryption and decryption techniques have derived considerable strength from the use of FRT. The present paper reviews the recent investigations in the above-mentioned areas with special reference to the work carried out by the Photonics Group, ITT Delhi.

Stereo matching is a method to obtain the depth information from images and is one of the most important issues in the field of machine vision. Contrary to the conventional stereo matching algorithms that involve two or more wellcalibrated cameras, the depth extraction scheme using a lens array is compact and requires no calibration since only one camera is involved in its setup. In this paper, we present a novel depth extraction algorithm using a lens array. The proposed method rearranges horizontal positions of the pixels from the collection of the elemental images to form subimages horizontally leaving the vertical positions of the pixels unchanged. On this rearranged images, we apply a correlation-based multiple-baseline stereo algorithm in properly modified form. The main feature of the proposed method is its ability of exact depth extraction from the extremely periodically patterned object scenes. Additionally, the proposed method enlarges the available depth range due to the reverse dependency of the disparity on the depth between the elemental image and the sub-image. We prove our idea by applying our method on the object scene generated by a computer. The simulation result shows the proposed method extracts precise depth information from the scene of the object with a periodic texture pattern.

A new experiment system of three-dimensional shape measurement is presented. The advantages and the disadvantages are analyzed. In this experiment system, using digital light projector replaces traditional projector, and electronical grating replaces traditional grating. Obviously, the system has many advantages such as higher precise, easier to realize, etc. But there still are some disadvantages because of the characteristic of the system. We designed experiments to discuss the errors introduced by the system and look for the best system parameter. From the last result, we can conclude that the system has high practical value.

The multiple scattering theory which produces Doppler-like wavelength shift,even, when the source and the intervening medium are at rest with respect to the observer has been recently verified in laboratory experiments. In the experiments, light from Hg lines propagating through anisotropic plasma medium has been shown to produce redshift as well as broadening. These results may signify important developments in statistical optics as well as in observational cosmology.

Coherent optical information processing is almost entirely based on the Fourier transform property of a lens. A Fourier transform lens is actually an ordinary lens. If the input transparency is placed in the front focal plane of the lens and illuminated with coherent collimated light (planewave), the amplitude function in the back focal plane of the lens will be the Fourier transform of the input transparency as shown in Fig. 1. A 4-f coherent optical processor consists of two lenses as shown in Fig. 2, thus it performs two Fourier transforms successively. The first lens transforms the input function from space domain into frequency domain, and the second lens transforms back the frequency function from frequency domain to the output function in space domain.

The increasing popularity of optical communication has also brought a demand for broader bandwidth. The natural trend was to implement methods from traditional communication on optical fibers. One of the most effective "traditional" methods is code division multiple access (CDMA). In this paper, we suggest the use of this approach for spatial coding applied to images, and for superresolution. In spatial coding, the approach is to multiplex several filters into one plane while keeping their mutual orthogonality. It is shown that within specific restrictions the output of all the filters can be sampled in the original image resolution and fully recovered through an all-optical setup. A theoretical analysis of such a setup is brought as well as experimental demonstrations are presented. Implementation for invariant pattern recognition is suggested. In superresolution, we propose using code division multiplexing in order to transfer a wider range of frequencies. Traditional methods for super resolution have sacrificed field of view for resolution. These methods multiplexed the signal on different carriers. Code division multiplexing for such a usage, has been shown to have superior capabilities, nearing almost Shannon's channel capacity limit. To enable such multiplexing we propose a unique setup that creates an incoherent cosine transform of the image. A theoretical analysis of the setup is brought and later compared with the empirical results.

By modifying the illumination of the ordinary microscope, the sectioned image of the object is then available at the image plane but with the unwanted ordinary image superimposed. After processing these composite images by decoding algorithm, the optically sectioned images substantially similar to those obtained by confocal microscope can finally be got. Here in this article, we derive the explicit formula of the image formation by using the mutual intensity theory and thus explain the sectioning ability and the decoding theory of this new sectioning microscope. We can conclude that this kind of selective-illumination microscope is actually a selective-illumination microscope.

The principal of this new analytical method is to analytically get the coefficients of exponentials, the sum of which approximates the desired rectangular spectrum function of PIF. An arbitrary desired rectangular spectrum could be approximated by a continuous function with ripples. This function can be written in polynomial mathematically, with many unknown coefficients and known special points, such as extremum points and the point of half transmission. A set of equations could be written for those special points, through the solving of which the unknown coefficients will be determined. The following procedures will be the same as the available synthesis procedures of birefringent networks. This method will greatly simplify the design procedure and give more freedom in control of the design spectrum output. An example is given for 5-piece-birefringent-crystal PIF.

A new method, using genetic algorithms, for constructing a tri-state neural network is presented. The global searching features of the genetic algorithms are adopted to help us easily find the interconnection weight matrix of a bipolar neural network. The construction method is based on the biological nervous systems, which evolve the parameters encoded in genes. Taking the advantages of conventional (binary) genetic algorithms, a two-level chromosome structure is proposed for training the tri-state neural network. A Matlab program is developed for simulating the network performances. The results show that the proposed genetic algorithms method not only has the features of accurate of constructing the interconnection weight matrix, but also has better network performance.

In view of the features of multi-sensor data fusion and target recognition, a modified counter-propagation neural network (MCPN) is proposed. The competitive layer of the MCPN is based on Dignet algorithm but not Kohonen clustering network (KCN). And the MCPN based fusion architecture at decision level is presented and applied to multi-sensor data fusion for target classification. The proposed MCPN and the fusion architecture are studied using simulated data. The experimental results show that the fusion classification can be effectively realized with the MCPN compared with standard counter-propagation neural network (CPN) and back-propagation network (BPN) of the same size. Finally, to further illustrate its effectiveness for practical uses, the experiments are conducted using real-world data acquired with a target tracing system of FUR and TV camera. The results indicate that the MCPN and its fusion architecture are workable

This paper proposes a novel philosophical approach using Wavelet and Radon Transform for addressing topographical features of surface from a PSI image. In this work, a combined technique using the Wavelet and Radon Transforms has been investigated and developed to achieve the forensic dissection of PSI image data. As a result, the isolated point-like features on a PSI image can be extracted using the wavelet transform with artifact free thresholding method, and the curve-like features on a PSI image can be identified using the Ridgelet Transform (Multi-Wavelet-Radon transform). Case studies are conducted using a series of femoral heads to demonstrate the application of using the new wavelet model in the assessment PSI images of these surfaces.

In this paper we present an opto-vision system for image processing of fabric texture using symlet wavelet transform to locate different types of defects in fabric and find the repeat texture of fabric without any priori information. The system is also capable of characterizing the texture of fabric not having obvious repeat pattern. The proposed methodology is able to measure the warp, weft diameter and spacing per unit length per yarn and percentage of their coefficient of variation (C.V%). The two dimensional wavelet transform of the image can distinguish texture feature along with yarn spacing in the weave. The information obtained from the image processing is considered to be significant for purposes of textile design to obtain a basic knowledge as to the visual information contained therein.

A new method for implementing optical header recognition by using spectral hologram as address bank is proposed as a cost-effective way of realizing routing in IP-over-photonic networks. The spectral hologram is employed to store the header addresses. The header recognition is performed by taking a correlation between an incoming optical address with those stored in the hologram. Due to a difference of spectral response between commercially available holographic media and optical fibers, a second-harmonic optical header-address signal is generated and used both in a synthesis of the spectral hologram and in a recognition processes of the header addresses

In an ideal digital transmission system, the pulse stream should consist of a sequence of points equally spaced in time by a quantity T, the inverse of the pulse transmission rate. In practice, the points of actual sequence are randomly deviated from their desired positions. Such timing deviations called timing jitter is usually classified into two main categories; systematic jitter and nonsystematic jitter. The former depends on the transmission signal, while the latter is produced by noise source. It has been verified that systematic jitter accumulation exceed nonsystematic one's. Nowadays, optical systems use optical amplifiers to enhance the transmission signal and recover its timing. Therefore, the influence of clock recovery circuit (CRC) inaccuracies is very significant in optical communication systems since a small timing error may influence the system performance a lot. In this paper, we proposed a new CRC model that can be more powerful to analyze the jitter performance and get the better optical communication results.

It is shown that steady state spatial bright solitons of modulated ThM00 mode Gaussian waveform can form and induce planar array waveguides in photorefractive crystal. The effects of modulating conditions, the intensity of spatial solitons and the external bias electric field on profile of refractive index of the array waveguides is investigated.

As computers and the internet become faster and faster, more and more information is transmitted, received, and stored everyday. The demand for high density and fast access time data storage is pushing scientists and engineers to explore all possible approaches including magnetic, mechanical, optical, etc. Optical data storage has already demonstrated its potential in the competition against other storage technologies. CD and DVD are showing their advantages in the computer and entertainment market. What motivated the use of optical waves to store and access information is the same as the motivation for optical communication. Light or an optical wave has an enormous capacity (or bandwidth) to carry information because of its short wavelength and parallel nature. In optical storage, there are two types of mechanism, namely localized and holographic memories. What gives the holographic data storage an advantage over localized bit storage is the natural ability to read the stored information in parallel, therefore, meeting the demand for fast access. Another unique feature that makes the holographic data storage attractive is that it is capable of performing associative recall at an incomparable speed. Therefore, volume holographic memory is particularly suitable for high-density data storage and high-speed pattern recognition. In this paper, we review previous works on volume holographic memories and discuss the challenges for this technology to become a reality.

The diffraction gratings in novel photopolymer were fabricated by optical interference method. Holographic recording in new polymer layers can be applied for optical information storage. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers are used with the monomer of acrylamide, which are well miscible with the sensitizing dye of yellow eosin and the charge transfer agent of triethanolamine. Addition of the crosslinking agent bisacrylamide stabilizes the formed structures against thermal and environmental relaxations. We compared the diffraction efficiencies of new polymer samples with that of the conventional photopolymer. Relatively high diffraction efficiency can be obtained from LPOMPP-02 series. The influence of the UV curing on the diffraction grating is also studied when the diffraction efficiency becomes stable. The diffraction efficiency under UV irradiation shows slight decrement and becomes stable at a lower value. The surface topographical change of the photopolymer layer was observed after irradiation of the two polarized lights. The actual periodicity of the surface relief grating is about 1.95-1.98 ?m according to the AFM profiles close to the theoretical value of 1.92 ?m .

We show that the transformation with radial polynomial and circular Fourier kernel of two-dimensional image can generate image moments, which are invariant to rotation, translation and scale changes. Among them the orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments using the generalized Jacobi radial polynomials show better performance that the Zernike moments. We introduce new Chebyshev-Fourier moments using Chebyshev radial polynomials, which improve the behavior of the orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments in regions close to the center of image. Experimental results are shown for the image description performance of the Chebyshev-Fourier moments in terms of image reconstruction errors and sensitivity to noise. In the cases of binary or contour shapes the Fourier-Mellin moments of single orders are able to describe and reconstruct the shapes.

A joint-transform phase correlator is presented for processing multiple-pattern recognition that uses the six-step phaseshifting interferometer with a wavelength-shifted laser diode. The correlation peaks are obtained by the numerical Fourier transformation of a measured phase in an on-axis joint power spectrum. Multiple-pattern phase correlation can be performed to demonstrate high discrimination without the intermodulation owing to zero optical path differences between multiple targets in the interferometer. The experimental results are shown.

A novel phase-encoded amplitude-modulated joint transform correlator (PAJTC) technique is presented, which yields superior output correlation signals and better noise robustness than a classical JTC. In the proposed PAJTC technique, firstly, the input targets are encoded with an application of a phase mask, and then the joint power spectrum (JPS) is multiplied by an amplitude-modulated filter (AMF) of the reference object before the inverse Fourier transforming. An enhanced amplitude-modulated filter, in which the modulation factor varies according to the noise presented in the input scenes, is used in the PAJTC technique. The PAJTC technique eliminates extraneous signals especially for the JTC with multiple input targets. An optoelectronic implementation schematic diagram for the PAJTC technique and computer simulations of the performances of the classical JTC and the PAJTC for comparison are presented.

Detection of weld defects is still done by the human interpreter. The problems of this process are subjective, inconsistent, labor intensive and fatigue of the interpreter. It is desirable to develop a computer-aided system to assist the human interpreter in evaluating the quality of welded part. In this paper, a real-time weld inspection system is presented. The system consists of three steps. First, extracting the weld part within the whole image by a fast algorithm based on the gray level, then the defect detection is applied on this part. Second, reducing the affection of the noise and making the defect more evident. A method to average several consecutive frames is used in the preprocessing part. Last, detecting the flaw. A more effective fuzzy theory that is based on the local image characteristics such as spatial contrast and spatial variance is used to determine the existence of a weld defect. The result shows success of the system in detecting weld defects.

Nowadays one of the key problems that influence the performance of an AR (Augmented Reality) system is the registration error. It is common that in the current AR systems a virtual object appears to swim about as the user moves, and often does not appear to rest at the same location when viewed from different directions. In order to provide a stable tracking result for our AR application, a hybrid tracking scheme that combines the robustness of the magnetic tracking and the static accuracy of the vision based tracking is developed. The principle of the vision-based tracking is presented and the tracking accuracy of the rotation angle is studied. A magnetic tracker composed of magnetoresistive sensors and accelerometers is proposed to compensate the shortcomings of the vision-based tracking.

In recent years the prospect of engineering an integrated photonic technology based on amorphous siliconbased has focused efforts on providing a unified understanding of the optical properties of this material. From a optical properties prospective the science of amorphous silicon is most transparent from a nanocrystalline material framework. Of particular interest for photonic engineering is the tunable range of the refractive index in amorphous silicon, the fast and slow light induced changes in epsilon 1 and 2, the means by which to deposit films of sufficient thickness and smoothness for the photonic application and the relationships among deposition conditions, material properties, and in particular the optical parameters. The present work reviews some of the previous work and examines the experimental and theoretical basis for the fast light induced refractive index change with the hope of providing the insight needed for device engineering. This work suggests several novel designs for light amorphous silicon based light valves and other devices.

Hexagonal array devices are widely used in optical communication and optical computing. Near field Talbot array illuminator is an ideal method for the illumination of these devices. Ultrafast pulse provides high transmission bit-rate and high peak energy, thus it is favorable for optical communication, diffractive optics, and other applications. In this paper we studied the hexagonal array Talbot effect under ultrafast pulse illumination. Ultrafast pulse has wide wavelength spectra range, and each spectral component corresponds to a unique wavelength that is directly relating to the Talbot distance. Thus the Talbot effect of hexagonal array is different from those of continuous wave in a whole. From the experimental result we can see that, comparing with that of the monochromic illumination, the efficiency and contrast of ultrafast pulse illumination are decreased. The result should be highly interesting for ultrafast fiber communication as well as other optical devices.

In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of the binary lamellar grating having the period smaller than the wavelength of the incident light and propose the structure of a novel binary subwavelength diffractive optical element (SWDOE). The effective medium theory and the birefringence multi-layer analysis method are used to analyze the proposed DOE structure. It is shown that the polarization sensitivity of the subwavelength scale lamellar grating can be used to design the SWDOE that can modulate both the phase and the amplitude of the incident light. In view of the synthesis of DOE, that is, the nonlinear optimization, the amplitude modulation means the extension of the degree of freedom for the design of DOE. So the relation between the phase and the amplitude modulation is derived through the numerical analysis.

The Fourier transform has been widely applied in the optical signal processing, yet it is just fit for analyzing the stationary signals. By extending the Fourier transform into wavelet transform, a new type of filter is proposed and its analogy to neural networks is developed. Optical neural networks (ONNs) are the new type networks, which possess good capacity of super parallel processing, signal transmission and high-density connecting lines. Although neural networks' implementations have been limited by the availability of high-resolution optical devices, by virtue of simple optical architectures for the wavelet transforms, the new neural network is easy to implement in large-scale by applying photoelectric technology. In this paper, the basic principles of ONNs and optical wavelet transform (OWT) are presented respectively, and the principle and structure of their combination—optical neural networks based on the wavelet transform are also proposed. For the optical neural networks and optical wavelet transforms, their optical implementations have many unique superiority, yet theirs combination takes on characteristics better than such structures just using neural networks or wavelet transform. Furthermore, their application perspectives are predicted in the paper.

In this paper, the characteristics of wavelength scanning micro-displacement measurement signal is analyzed, and it is pointed out to be uncontinuous and unstable, so using Fourier transform to process must bring about error. Because of wavelet transform having good localization property in time-frequency domain and strong effects for the filtering of white noise and sharp pulse, it can overcome shortcomings of original signal's edge fuzzy caused by average filtering and median filtering. In this paper, wavelet transform is applied to process detected displacement signal in the wavelength scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer. Theory and test have shown that using this method is more accordant with reality of optical measurement and can eliminate noise. The measurement resolution and precision can be improved.

Adaptive wavelet transform, using an adaptive wavelet as a linear combination of different wavelets, has been applied in optical information processing successfully. Most of the adaptive wavelets are built by daughter wavelets from only one mother wavelet. In this paper, we construct a new adaptive wavelet for feature extraction under noise as prepossessing in face pattern recognition. To have the ability of de-noising, daughters for construction are generated by two different mother wavelets. We call this transform multi-mother adaptive wavelet transform. It is important that the new wavelet combines advantages of different mother wavelets. With artificial neural network, the parameters are adaptively computed. Simulation results show the wavelet is not only robust to noise, but also keep good recognition performance. In frequency domain, the spectrum of our wavelet is real and easy to be realized as an optical filter.

An approach with the capability of matching partial word image is proposed in this paper, to facilitate the issues of document image retrieval, such as detection of user-speci ed query words, and similarity measurement between documents. Each word image is represented by a feature string. Then, an inexact string matching technology is utilized to measure the similarity between the two feature strings generated from two word images, based on which we can estimate how one word image is relevant to the other one and thereby decide whether one is a portion of the other word. The approach is applied to two issues in the area of document information retrieval: word spotting and document similarity measurement. Experimental results on real document images show that it is a promising approach.

It is often difficult to obtain sufficient signature samples to train up a signature verification system. With insufficient training samples, the estimation of the statistical parameters such as the mean feature vector and covariance matrix becomes unreliable and system performance would be degraded. In this paper, a two-dimensional elastic matching method to generate additional samples is proposed to expand the limited training set so that a better estimate of the statistical variations can be obtained. The method differs from existing ones in that it is more suitable for the generation of signature samples. Besides this, a set of peripheral features, which is useful in describing both the internal and external structures of signatures, is employed to represent the signatures in the verification process. Results showed that verification system with the additional samples could reduce the error rate from 15.6% to 11.4%. It also outperformed another existing method which estimates the class covariance matrix through optimization techniques. Results also demonstrated that the peripheral features are useful for signature verification.

Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD) was used in the development of silica layers for use in planar waveguide applications. The addition of GeH4 to silica was used to control the refractive index of core layers with index differences core-clad in the range of 0.2%-1.3%. High rate SiO2 and Ge-doped SiO2 films have been deposited on to 4” Si <100> wafers. The ‘as deposited’ and ‘annealed’ film properties have been compared, including film uniformity, RI, RI uniformity and stress have been compared. Ge-doped SiO2 films up to 10 um thickness have been deposited and annealed for the above study. Refractive index uniformity of ± 0.0002 was achieved after annealing for 4” silicon wafers. The core layers were shown to be capable of producing optical losses of <0.1dB/cm when incorporated into a typical waveguide design.

We have proposed a novel principle for design of the binary GZP that can produce the desired pattern in the focal plane. The modified GZP can be fabricated as easily as the FZP. The proposed GZP has great flexibility in terms of manipulating the focusing properties. Optical experiments have confirmed the reliability of the GZP in focusing light into the specified area. The low cost and easy production of the element show that it can serve an alternative to refractive lens in the short wavelength region where refractive optics is not applicable owing to possible strong absorption.

The objective measuring method of MRTD based on artificial neural network is using computer to judge the four bacilliform target image automatically and objectively replacing of human eyes' subjectively judgment. The characteristic vector of four bacilliform target image is extracted firstly before using computer to identify the image. The reasonable choosing of the characteristic vector not only affects the determination of the neural network, but also directly relates the identifying speed and accuracy (the judging efficiency of the neural network). The wavelet analysis of four bacilliform target image can well simulate the identifying procedure of the eye to four bacilliform target image. The experiment of identification of four bacilliform target image shows that using the total energy of the images of different frequency range as the characteristic vector is more suitable than using images average value, square-error, information entropy, etc.

In this paper we have successfully applied optical diffraction method to the study of fractional Fourier transforms of a regular fractal pattern—a snowflake. Fractals may be divided into two kinds: the 1stkind is called regular fractal which may be generated artificially according to a set of mathematical rules and it exhibits strict self-similarity; while the 2nd kind is called irregular fractal in which strict self-similarity is replaced by statistical self-similarity. We have obtained fractional Fourier transforms of a snowflake by optical method as an example of regular fractal. Different orders of fractional Fourier transforms are obtained. These are compared with ordinary Fourier transform of the same pattern. These experimental results are discussed in the light of the fractional Fourier transform for pattern recognition. These results may be readily extended to the case of irregular fractals which closely correspond to most of natural patterns.

Distributed optical fiber temperature sensor system can sense the temperature changes along the optical fiber by the continuous form of distance. For the characteristics of insulation and resistance to electromagnetic interference, it has a wide using prospect in the field of petroleum and gas pipeline, tunnel and mine. The distributed temperature measurement is realized by using single channel anti-Stokes light, and the temperature and space resolution of the system can be assured. But the anti-Stokes signal will be submerged by noise because of the weakness of anti-Stokes light signal, the loss of scattering light and the system noise. In order to reduce the influence of various noises in distributed temperature measurement, the method of increasing the times of signal accumulating is used to increase temperature resolution. But this will lengthen the period of temperature measurement and influence the practical application of the system. By using the multi-resolution analysis of Wavelet to handle the distributed temperature signal, we can shorten the period of temperature measurement and enhance the response speed of system on the basis of the assurance of time and space resolutions.

3D object recognition is now an increasing interest in the optical information processing. In this paper, a method of 3D particle shape recognition by using in-line digital holography and optical correlation techniques is presented. The complex amplitude distribution generated by particle field at any plane located in the Fresnel diffraction region is recorded directly by CCD. The original field is then reconstructed numerically by wavelet transform. The scale parameter of the wavelet family, ? , is related to the distance between the particle hologram and the plane of observation. The whole information of particle field can be obtained by changing the value of ? .Holographic information of the 3D reference object can also be gained by the same method, and act as complex filter. Correlation techniques are then applied to recognizing the particle shape, and experimental results are also given.

The kinoform is attractive because of the high diffraction efficiency and the manner of on-axial reconstruction. In this work, we use the Gerchberg-Saxton iterative algorithms to optimize phase distribution of the kinoform. The phase in each pixel is then quantized into a set of eight-level values. The surface of quartz glass plate is etched to a depth determined by the corresponding phase retard, forming a kinform with stair-like surface relief. The optical experiments are canied out. The on-axial reconstruction image with high fidelity and high efficiency is obtained.

We found the method had three primary errors: the error that is caused by speckle of laser interference system, the error that is caused by mixing in quadrature demodulation and the error that is caused by the cosine fringe distortion in the structure light. We analyzed these three errors by experiment and theory. At last, we gave the corrected results.

Based on the multiplicity and redundancy of holographic recording and reconstruction, the paper presents a new kind of multi-channel image-plane holography, which used the method of multiple reference beams in one exposure to record and give the object' s information in different field angles simultaneously. The construction principle of dual-reference-beam multiple-image- plane recording with the diffraction wave theory is also presented. As an example, a dual-reference-beam image-plane hologram is given. Image plane holography was noted for its colorfulness and low dependence of reconstruction. But the view field of usual image hologram was largely limited. The accessible research in multiple channel holography can only reconstruct object's image in a fixed directional single channel, which limited the visual range and collected object's information in multiple channels at the same time. So it is very worthful.

In allusion to measuring the wavelength of plus laser using the FabryPerot etalon, we put forward a concrete method to detect and capture the plus signal: Firstly basing on the gray characteristic of the sequential images captured real-timely by image card and the trait of the interferogram, select the average gray-value of given region of image as the characteristic value, then acquire the characteristic value of each frame to draw the statistical histogram, calculate threshold based upon the statistical histogram through selecting reasonable algorithm. Secondly write callback program of image processing on the basis of the development library provided with the image card together to complete parallel image processing, image capturing and image processing at the same time. Judging whether this frame contains the plus information that we wanted through comparing the characteristic value with the predefined threshold, decide whether or not to give out the command of stopping capturing and freezing image. The key of this method is correctly calculating the threshold and redeveloping the user program of image card to complete parallel image processing.

In this paper the four-channel real-time joint transform correlator (JTC) for fingerprint verification is proposed which is consists of right-angle prism, 4f system, liquid crystal light valve, hololens array and CCD. Fingerprint image is inputted real-timely using a right-angle prism and processed by 4f system optically to insure the higher contrast. To avoid refusal phenomenon owing to fingerprint images distortion, the single channel correlation identification is changed to four-channel correlation recognition using hololens array. A little different reference fingerprint images from an identical finger are placed in different channels. When a object fingerprint image is inputted, four kinds of correlation results are presented. Not only the recognition accuracy is increased but the processing speed and capability of the system is enhanced. The experimental results are given in this paper.

In recent years, joint transform correlator has taken place of matched filter, and pure optical experiments have developed into optoelectronic hybrid experiments. Optoelectronic Joint transform correlator has not only the optical advantages of parallel processing, large capacity and high speed, but also the advantages of computers, such as flexibility, programmability and accuracy. In this paper, electrically addressed liquid crystal displays (EALCD) are used as space light modulator (SLM), by the use of EALCD and CCD matrix camera which is controlled by microcomputer, and the optical Fourier transform (OFT) system, the moving object is detected and recognized. Because of using CCD matrix camera to detect the power spectrum of OFT, many kinds of digital processing algorithms can be adopted to improve signal noise ration (SNR), and to detect and recognize accurately moving objects.

A phase-compensated encoding method is proposed in this paper for the design of phase-only optical element (also called kinoform). The proposed elements are surface relief plates, i.e. , phase-only elements, which are based on the concept of computer-generated masks fabricated by common etching processes. The new encoding method can reduce the reconstructed errors such as quantization error through multi-level phase compensations. The number of subcells of every encoded cell is determined by the requirement of error reduction in actual implementation. Computer simulation confirms that the proposed encoding scheme can produce reconstruction with higher signal-to-noise ratio, higher diffractive efficiency and better uniformity than conventional encoding methods.

In this paper longitudinal electro-optic (EO) effect and multi-dimensional isotropic Raman-Nath acousto-optic (AO) effect in square system and cubic system are researched. KDP of the square system and GaP of the cubic system are chosen as crystals for multi-dimensional isotropic Acousto-electro-optic (AEO) devices. Through calculation of function characters of multi-dimensional isotropic AO interaction in the two crystals, optimum operating modes are determined for their two-dimensional (2-D), three-dimensional (3-D) and four-dimensional (4-D) isotropic AEO effect. The research results will lay the foundations for design and manufacture of the multi—dimensional isotropic AEO device.

Properties of degenerate four-wave mixing in a Ce:KNSBN photorefractive fiber-like crystal under the conditions that the angle between the pump beam and the signal beam is smaller and bigger was studied. It is found that there are two interaction regions of degenerate four-wave mixing in the sample when the angle is bigger, and four-times enhancement of the maximum phase-conjugate reflectivity compared with that in smaller angle condition is obtained. The experimental results of the phase-conjugate reflectivity versus the intensity of signal beams, and versus the ratio of the pump beams are presented, which are numerically fitted by theoretical equations. They are coincident quite well. The property of the four-wave mixing gratings and the phase-conjugate response time of Ce:KNSBN photorefractive fiber-like crystal were studied. The response time could be faster, in an order of second in our experimental conditions.

In this paper, 2X2 holographic lens array with symmetrical focuses was used for realizing PS optical interconnection. All cases with virtual focus, real focus imaging system and corresponding system after inserting imaging lens were carefully analyzed. The imaging distance and magnification are given, and the edge obscurity problem of PS imaging was analyzed, the object distance condition to gain clear image was obtained. The derivation and analysis indicated: The 2x2 holographic lens array with r = (1-1/2N)d/2 could not realize PS. After inserting imaging lens, the imaging distance and magnification of the system are closely in keeping with the position of focuses. In the case of real focus imaging fashion, when object distance ut=(1-1/2N)dfH/(2r), holographic lens array could gain clear PS images. The experiments proved correctness of the formulae.

Wave unwrapping is an important part of fringe analysis. However, the ultimate result of wave unwrapping is usually impaired by bad data and noise from the phase shifting procedure. This paper presents a robust improved algorithm of region growing, which combines the procedure both of error point seeking and of region growing and ultimately gains a perfect wave unwrapping result. The whole processing is illustrated with images and charts obtained by both the computer simulation and practical operation.
