Three-dimensional disk-based optical correlator

Abstract

A total of 300 templates were stored as angularly multiplexed transmission holograms at multiple spots on a photopolymer disk. A novel correlator architecture is described and demonstrated that correlates all the templates against an input image within one disk rotation (≈ 20 ms). The projected performance of the system is 150,000 templates per disk and a processing rate of approximately 6000 correlations per second.
