| 内容記述 | Research in progress at NASA Ames Research Center on programmable masks is discussed in this paper. One type is a large area format liquid crystal mask intended for binary optical computation problems. To date, an on-off contrast ratio of 500:1 has been achieved at a switching rate of 1 Hz. With a 32 x 32 format, a ratio 10 to the 4th power:1 is desirable. The switching contrast is entirely dependent on the polarized quality; therefore, it is believed that 10 to the 4th power:1 in transmission is possible. Larger format masks are under development. An application to Hadamard transform polarized imagery at wavelengths of 1.0 to 2.0 micrometers, which is competitive with the best monolithic infrared detector arrays, is discussed. |
