Abstract
An optodigital position converter based on a Dammann grating is propos ed. The converter is based on a diffraction grating with a high diffra ction efficiency coupled with a binary encoding mask. The module permi ts parallel processing of a scene so that one can extract the position of a correlation peak. Compression of the information is also perform ed. The binary output is compatible with digital systems. (C) Optical Society of America
