The accuracy and flexibility of the technique proposed by Davis et al.[Appl. Opt. 35, 2488
(1996)] for the encoding of the amplitude and the phase of a filter onto a single liquid-crystal …

Certain kinds of spatial light modulators (SLMs) can be used in a mode where the phase
transmittance at a given point has the desired value, measured modulo-2π, and the …

The classical matched filter used as the basis for optical correlation filters requires a spatial
light modulator (SLM) which can effect fully complex modulation. Practical (single) SLMs …

We have recently developed a new type of liquid-crystal spatial light-modulator which acts
as a phase-only spatial light-modulator for coherent light. The use of this device as a flexible …

In correlation filtering a spatial light modulator is traditionally modeled as affecting only the
phase or only the amplitude of light. Usually, however, a single operating parameter affects …

Some of the fastest commercially available coherent spatial light modulators are binary. This
fact has motivated research on the binary phase-only filter, which is unfortunately unable to …

The inverted-cloverleaf cantilever beam version of the Texas Instruments Deformable Mirror
Device (DMD) has become available for use as a spatial light modulator in hybrid optical …

We report on a technique for producing a Bessel function correlation output for an arbitrary
input pattern. The central dark spot at the center of the Bessel function correlator output is …

Recent developments in spatial light modulators have led to devices which are capable of
continuous phase modulation, even if only over a limited range. We used one of these …

We present the implementation of a clutter-tolerant filter in a hybrid correlator system. Wiener
filters were mapped with a complex encoding technique onto a smectic A^* liquid-crystal …
