Abstract
A novel optical information processing system by synthesis of the coherence function is proposed. By modulating the frequency of a laser diode in an interferometer with appropriate waveform, the system synthesizes the coherence function into a delta-function-like peak at a depth tunable by the frequency modulation parameter, and thus can extract 2D images from 3D object at arbitrary depth in the form of interference component. To detect selectively the interference component, a 2D optical lock-in amplifier with the microchannel spatial light modulator is developed, so that the limitation to the depth resolution introduced by the holographic detection which was used in our previous systems is overcome, Selective image extraction is demonstrated successfully with neither mechanical scanning nor digital calculation.
