V. Laude et P. Refregier, MULTICRITERIA CHARACTERIZATION OF CODING DOMAINS WITH OPTIMAL FOURIERSPATIAL LIGHT-MODULATOR FILTERS, Applied optics, 33(20), 1994, pp. 4465-4471
A multicriteria optimization method is introduced in order to find opt
imal filters for implementation on arbitrary spatial light modulators
in the Fourier plane of an optical correlator. This method is applied
to the trade-offs between noise robustness, sharpness of the correlati
on peak, and optical efficiency. A fast and simple algorithm is given
in this case, which is independent of the particular form of the spati
al light modulator coding constraint. It is used to characterize and t
o compare typical coding domains through the performances of their ass
ociated optimal filters.
