Ambiguity processing by joint Fourier transform holography
Abstract:
Theory and practice of an optical ambiguity processor based on space-variant joint Fourier transform holography are presented. The approach evolves from the joint Fourier transform optical correlator concept, which represents a different technique of implementing the matched filter correlator concept advanced by Vander Lugt. Experimental demonstration using photographic film for signal recording and the thermoplastic device for hologram recording will be reported.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

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...
