    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Optical Engineering
    • Image Processing

    Background:

    • Optical correlation, also known as matched filtering, has expanded applications due to the use of spatially and spectrally incoherent light.
    • Existing achromatic correlators achieve two zero crossings for scaling error correction within the visible spectrum.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel apochromatic correlator with enhanced chromatic correction capabilities.
    • To significantly reduce scaling errors in optical correlators for improved performance.

    Main Methods:

    • The apochromatic correlator combines two highly dispersive heavy flint lenses with two diffractive lenses and two chromatic-corrected refractive lenses.
    • This design leverages the combined dispersion of flint glass and diffractive elements.
