摘要:
A method of producing single-class and multi-class composite classification maps from multispectral data is provided. The multispectral data is transformed into a binary matrix format which is then encoded on an optical medium such as photographic film. The encoded data is holographically correlated with coded patterns representing selected spectral signatures to produce signal-class classification maps. Several single-class maps are optically superimposed to produce multi-class composite classification maps.

The average aperture width in a small area of an apertured member, such as a shadow mask for a cathode ray tube, is determined by passing a beam of substantially monochromatic light through an area of the member to form an interference pattern, detecting the intensities of at least two light fringes of the interference pattern, generating electrical signals which are representative of the detected intensities and then deriving the average width of apertures in the lit area of the members from the generated signals.
摘要:
A holographic data processing apparatus is described wherein data is holographically recorded on a recording medium with the data arranged in groups of superimposed holograms of data bits. An optical data beam and an optical reference beam are passed through deflectors to intersect to form the local holographic pattern at the recording medium. The location of intersection is controlled by a page deflector and the angle of intersection is controlled by a data deflector. Each data bit is recorded with a distinct angular relationship between the intersecting data and reference beams. During reconstruction the data at a page location are projected from the recording medium in an array wherein the position of each data bit is related to the discrete recording angle. A feedback arrangement to maintain registration of the beams is described.

The present invention relates to optical data recording and read-out. More particularly, it is concerned with optical deflector arrangements used in holographic storage devices. In accordance with the invention, there is provided an optical deflector arrangement wherein a beam projected onto a storage area can be steered to take n distinct angular position making it possible the selective record or read out of a plurality of elementary holograms superimposed on one another in said area.

A spatial filtering system for inspecting integrated circuit photomasks, and the like. The system includes a spatial filter comprising a matrix-like array of opaque regions on a transparent field, as well as one pair of opaque compensating elements for each element edge orientation in the photomask to be inspected. The opaque regions block the d.c. and lower spatial frequencies of the periodic photomask feature information, while the compensating elements block the corresponding higher spatial frequencies (i.e., the edge information). Use of the system significantly improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the filtered image.

A zone plate scanner for wide bandwidth laser recorders utilizing a rotating disc having pairs of peripheral windows, each containing a zone plate, one set of windows in each pair being spaced circumferentially at a constant radius, and a second set being similarly spaced circumferentially but each having a different radius. The spacing changes the grating frequency for each pair and encodes each track on a moving film in a manner which eliminates interference in close spacing and reduces the criticality of readout equipment.
摘要:
A method of optical filtering in which a phase object is constructed in accordance with the desired convolutional filter operator and during the filtering operation incoherent light is used. This type of incoherent filtering method is made applicable to filter operators having negative portions which would require negative intensities by biasing the phase object to make is everywhere nonnegative. The bias is then removed during display by means of a vidicon system.
摘要:
Apparatus for improving the quality of an input transparency used in an optical processor. The input transparency is illuminated with coherent light which has been passed through a fine grating or grid. The grid causes the transparency to be broken up into a plurality of diffraction patterns. When the image is reconstructed in the output plane, there is a marked decrease in the localization of reflection noise which would otherwise have been caused by the system.

A light beam scanning apparatus including a rotatable disc having a plurality of focusing elements disposed in an annular or spiral pattern such that an impinging light beam is intercepted in succession by each of the focusing elements and deflected along a plurality of adjacent lines thereby providing, in accordance with the characteristics of the focusing elements, either a two-dimensional scan pattern oriented respectively transverse or parallel to the direction of the focused light or alternatively a three-dimensional scan pattern encompassing the areas of the orthogonal two-dimensional patterns.
摘要:
A device for reconstructing a hologram using white light, by providing in the optical path before or after the hologram a dispersion-compensating element. A preferred embodiment employs a diffraction grating. A relatively efficient and inexpensive transmission diffraction grating is obtained by a pile of aligned, superimposed replicas having the same spacing.
