Lock-in holography using optically addressed multiple-quantum-well spatial light modulators

Perpendicular-field multiple-quantum-well optically addressed spatial light modulators have a response that saturates at high writing intensity. This limits the diffraction efficiency of low-fringe-visibility holograms. This effect is suppressed by use of the ability of these structures to subtract images rapidly. The modulator is exposed to a hologram with a spatially uniform beam, which is incoherent with the hologram, superimposed on top of it. Pulsing the hologram synchronously with the device drive voltage but leaving the uniform beam constant in time can build up the diffraction to large values even when the fringe visibility is low.     

单通道光学相关实现击中与否运算

给出了一种单通道光学相关实现击中与否运算的算法和光学装置，此法基于形态学中的腐蚀运算和光学相关的关系及阈值操作，在非相干光学相关器中，将前景结构核元素编码为１，背景结构核元素编码为ａ（ａ满足一定条件），只需用原图像与前景和背景结构进行相关，然后对相关结果取阈值的Ｋ（前景结构核元素的像素数）即可得到击中与否运算，击中与否运算可以光学并行一步实现。     

Visible regime application of zone plate coded incoherent holography

Unlike conventional optical holography which requires coherent radiation, zone plate coded holography (ZPCH) offers the possibility of encoding 3D information of an incoherent radiation source. But ZPCH with its coherent optical reconstruction (COR) is unsuitable to be used in the visible regime. However, proposed digital ZPCH scheme for visible regime uses digital decoding instead of COR and overcomes this limitation. This paper discusses the issues of visible regime ZPCH and presents experimental results of applying the modified scheme to encode and successfully decode a visible source, for the first time, to our knowledge. In addition to imaging of incoherent radiation sources, visible regime incoherent holography may find use in constructing holograms of live cells or objects, like retina, where coherent illumination can be detrimental.

Intermode Correlation Properties of Laser Radiation Propagating through a Gas Cell with Alkali Atoms under Conditions of a Coherent Population Trapping Resonance

A theory of excitation of a coherent population trapping resonance in hot alkali-metal atoms in a cell with buffer gas is constructed, taking into account the finite spectral width of two-component radiation, its vector properties, and the hyperfine and Zeeman structures of atoms. The propagation of intermode correlations in an optically dense gas cell is studied. It is found that in the case of partially correlated input modes, their correlation degree at the output can increase. This effect can be used for filtering the incoherent part of radiation.     

Incoherent and coherent writing and erasure of cavity solitons in an optically pumped semiconductor amplifier

Cavity solitons in semiconductor amplifiers were, from the beginning of their study and observation, obtained either spontaneously or in a controlled manner by local coherent excitation. We describe two experiments that demonstrate coherent and, we believe for the first time, incoherent writing and erasure of cavity solitons in an optically pumped vertical-cavity semiconductor amplifier by short optical pulses.     

Dependence of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio for a Mixture of Coherent and Incoherent Sources on the Incoherent Source Spectral Profile

A semi-classical theory of photodetection noise for an optically amplified signal has been obtained and the explicit dependence of the photovoltage variance on the incoherent source spectral profile has been identified. The theoretical predictions have been compared with experimental results measured using a digital sampling oscilloscope for cases of a coherent source, an incoherent source, and a mixture of coherent and incoherent sources.     

Reconfigurable directional couplers and junctions optically induced by nondiffracting Bessel beams

We put forward the concept of reconfigurable structures optically induced by mutually incoherent nondiffracting Bessel beams in Kerr-type nonlinear media. We address collinear couplers and X junctions and show how one can tune the switching properties of such structures by varying the intensity of the Bessel beams.
