    摘要: A micro-optical shutter array (92, 102) having a number of tiny shutters (10), which revolve so as to intermittently block light from a via (12), and which may be operated in either a stepping or continuous motion. The array (92, 102) may be batch manufactured using integrated circuit fabrication techniques. For each shutter, a via (12) is etched through a substrate (11). A rotor (13, 43, 53, 63) with at least one opening is fabricated over the via (12), such that as the rotor (13, 43, 53, 63) turns, radiation transmitted through the via (12) is selectively blocked or not blocked.

    摘要: An optical correlation unit for correlating the images of an inspection object and a reference object. The unit uses two phase modulating reflective spatial light modulators. A first spatial light modulator receives electronic input in the form of image data representing the inspection object. It modulates incoming light with this input and reflects the modulated output to a first Fourier transform lens. This lens provides the optical input to a second spatial light modulator, whose electronic input is transform data representing the complex conjugate of the Fourier transform of the reference image. The electronic input modulates the optical input, resulting in the Fourier product of the two images, which is then transformed to provide correlation data.
