Velocity filtering using complementary gratings in photorefractive BSO
Velocity filtering using complementary gratings in photorefractive BSO
We demonstrate a new optical technique for velocity filtering and feature extraction of time varying optical images. The technique exploits the recording of complementary (multiplexed) gratings with a relative phase shift of 180° in a photorefractive material, BSO, via a degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM ) configuration. For experimental parameters, such as grating response time and optimised total input intensity. almost complete subtraction is achieved in the phase conjugate output. When motion occurs in the object plane a bright output image is observed depending on the experimental variables of feature size and velocity. We present results for motion detection of features of various dimensions at a range of speeds in both x and y directions and via Fourier plane observation.

Abstract
We demonstrate a new optical technique for velocity filtering and feature extraction of time varying optical images. The technique exploits the recording of complementary (multiplexed) gratings with a relative phase shift of 180° in a photorefractive material, BSO, via a degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM ) configuration. For experimental parameters, such as grating response time and optimised total input intensity. almost complete subtraction is achieved in the phase conjugate output. When motion occurs in the object plane a bright output image is observed depending on the experimental variables of feature size and velocity. We present results for motion detection of features of various dimensions at a range of speeds in both x and y directions and via Fourier plane observation.
