Caulfield, H J

Developments in optical signal processing are discussed, taking into account acousto-optic processors for passive surveillance, innovative and compact architectures for real-time two-dimensional correlation, scale-invariant Wigner distribution and ambiguity functions, an acousto-optic convolver for digital pulses, holography and four-wave mixing to see through the skin, the phase-conjugate of a Fourier hologram using four-wave mixing in BSO crystal, and a tunable, variable bandwidth, acousto-optic filter. Subjects related to pattern recognition are also explored, giving attention to optimal linear discriminant functions, orientation variability in generalized matched filters, an adaptive acousto-optic processor, an optical implementation of the synthetic discrimination function, and optimality considerations in modified matched spatial filters. A hybrid digital/integrated optical processor for on-line classification is considered along with white-light optical signal processing with a programmable magneto-optic device, and Lloyd's mirror as an optical processor.
