Compact all-diffractive setup for spectral synthesis with non-uniform illumination
2009
Optical filters based on diffractive optical elements (DOE) have received increased attention since the development of the first synthetic spectrum as a tool for correlation spectroscopy [1]. The production of a synthetic spectrum requires the design of a DOE that transforms the spectrum associated with the incident light into the spectrum of interest. Based on this procedure, several approaches have been reported in the literature [1–4]. In general, these configurations employ angular dispersion elements for spectrum tailoring, so they are restricted to working off-axis, and most of them need an extra focusing refractive lens.
Compressive holography with a single-pixel detector.
2013
This Letter develops a framework for digital holography at optical wavelengths by merging phase-shifting interferometry with single-pixel optical imaging based on compressive sensing. The field diffracted by an input object is sampled by Hadamard patterns with a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. The concept of a single-pixel camera is then adapted to perform interferometric imaging of the sampled diffraction pattern by using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Phase-shifting techniques together with the application of a backward light propagation algorithm allow the complex amplitude of the object under scrutiny to be resolved. A proof-of-concept experiment evaluating the phase distributio…
Single-output color pattern recognition using a fractional correlator
1997
A novel method for performing color image pattern recogni- tion using a fractional correlator (FC) is proposed. The input plane is illuminated with three different coherent sources of wavelengths corre- sponding to RGB (red, green, and blue) colors. The output plane pro- vides a single output peak, which is a result of an incoherent addition between the three correlations obtained per each color. By using the fractional correlator, which is a partially space variant correlator, we achieve space-variance-controlled color pattern recognition. The use of the three-color illumination can drastically increase the discrimination ability of the suggested correlator. © 1997 Society of Photo-Optical…
