Hm. Kim et al., BINARY PHASE SPATIAL MODULATION USING PHOTOINDUCED ANISOTROPY IN AMORPHOUS AS2S3 THIN-FILM, Applied optics, 34(26), 1995, pp. 6008-6011
We present a method for binary phase spatial modulation that uses phot
oinduced anisotropy in a chalcogenide amorphous As2S3 thin film and it
s application to binary phase-only filters in a VanderLugt optical cor
relator. The time-dependent light-transmission properties of the photo
illuminated As2S3 thin film are analytically examined by use of third-
order nonlinear polarization theory. Experimental results on optical c
orrelation are discussed.
