Optical tracking and motion detection using photorefractive Bi12SiO20

Optical tracking and motion detection using photorefractive Bi12SiO20
Optical tracking and motion detection using photorefractive Bi12SiO20
We demonstrate a technique for the differentiation of time varying optical images that exploits the spatial frequency dependent response time of grating formation in photorefractive BSO. The detection characteristics for such a differential signal can be varied via a tunable response time for each arm of a Michelson interferometer arrangement. Experimental results are presented for various rates of change of the input signal by chopping at different speeds, displacing an input transparency, and directional motion of the object. To illustrate this last operation, results are also presented for the Fourier plane of an output image.

Abstract

We demonstrate a technique for the differentiation of time varying optical images that exploits the spatial frequency dependent response time of grating formation in photorefractive BSO. The detection characteristics for such a differential signal can be varied via a tunable response time for each arm of a Michelson interferometer arrangement. Experimental results are presented for various rates of change of the input signal by chopping at different speeds, displacing an input transparency, and directional motion of the object. To illustrate this last operation, results are also presented for the Fourier plane of an output image.
