Abstract:
This paper describes a multichannel optical correlator that uses two spatial dimensions to achieve multi-channel capability and operates in real time. Given I signals, r(i)(t), and J signals, s(j)(t), it can produce the I x J cross products, r(i)(t)s(j)(t), averaged over some interval. Multiplication is based on the fact that the square of the sum of two signals contains their cross product. Light fields modulated by the signals are added and their sum squared by measuring its intensity. An experimental correlator and its performance are described along with applications.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
