    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for still image compression, video compression and automatic target recognition are disclosed. The method of still image compression uses isomorphic singular manifold projection whereby surfaces of objects having singular manifold representations are represented by best match canonical polynomials to arrive at a model representation. The model representation is compared with the original representation to arrive at a difference. If the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, the difference data are saved and compressed using standard lossy compression. The coefficients from the best match polynomial together with the difference data, if any, are then compressed using lossless compression. The method of motion estimation for enhanced video compression sends I frames on an "as-needed" basis, based on comparing the error between segments of a current frame and a predicted frame. If the error exceeds a predetermined threshold, which can be based on program content, the next frame sent will be an I frame. The method of automatic target recognition (ATR) including tracking, zooming, and image enhancement, uses isomorphic singular manifold projection to separate texture and sculpture portions of an image. Soft ATR is then used on the sculptured portion and hard ATR is used on the texture portion.

    摘要: A 2D/3D optically controlled spatial and angular electromagnetic wave modulator is disclosed. The modulator of the present invention modulates the amplitude and direction of an electromagnetic wave such as millimeter microwaves or infrared waves by diffracting or scattering the electromagnetic wave from a semiconductor material upon which is incident a controlling lightwave. The lightwave incident upon the semiconductor is of varying intensity, and may be time varying, and changes the complex refractive permittivity of the semiconductor material. The electromagnetic wave is thus modulated in accordance with the controlling lightwave.

    摘要: An optical multi-channel data communication link transmits data from a transmitter to a remote receiver. The link includes a multimode laser diode source connected to the transmitter, a device for modulating the source with each channel of data to generate a modulated light wave, and a wavelength division multiplexing device at the transmitter. The wavelength division multiplexing device has paraxial optics for multiplexing the light waves to produce a multiplexed signal. Multimode fiber optic means are connected to the multiplexer and pass the multiplexed signal to the remote receiver. A wavelength division multiplexer has paraxial optics for demultiplexing the multiplexed signals at the receiver to produce demultiplexed light waves. Each of the demultiplexed light waves are converted for use by the receiver. Preferably, each of the wavelength division multiplexer and demultiplexer has a littrow reflecting grating and a lens which are paraxially aligned with the multimode fiber optic means to provide channel separation of less than 50 nm.

    摘要: A holographic filter comprises a volume hologram recorded with Bragg surfaces for use in spectroscopic and spectral splitting applications. The Bragg planes in the holographic filter can be recorded to satisfy virtually any design constraint imposed upon the filter such as Raman, Lippmann, non-Snellian (slanted), curved, and multiplexed spectral filters. The holographic filter achieves maximal reduction of secondary maxima and sidelobes and obtains large wavelength selectivities, and varied grating constants.

    摘要: An apparatus for coupling light waves into a single-mode planar waveguide comprises a curved multi-mode waveguide. The multi-mode waveguide is thick so that its mode structure is practically continuous and its coupling wavelength selectivity is low. The curved multi-mode waveguide presents a variable single-mode coupling gap to the adjacent single-mode planar waveguide which achieves optimum balance between phase and amplitude conditions for coupling a broad range of wavelengths and tolerates varying wavelength light sources.

    摘要: A diffraction coherence filter based on Bragg interference principles comprises a plurality of spaced-apart lower-hierarchy optical elements, containing a series of interference structures, which form a higher-hierarchy compound optical structure. The spatial distribution of the lower-hierarchy optical element and the interference structures is governed by mathematical relationships dependent upon the coherence radius and temporal coherence length of incoming radiation. All of the lower-hierarchy elements can be coherently coupled for coherent light and randomly coupled for incoherent light, whereby the filter may differentiate between coherent and incoherent radiation.
