Optical random speckle encoding based on hybrid wavelength and phase modulation

Optical random speckle encoding suffers from a contradiction between the generation speed and pattern amount. Spatial light modulators are commonly used for random speckle generation at relatively low speeds. Wavelength scanning combined with a scattering medium has a fast speed, while the pattern a...

Zusammenfassung:Optical random speckle encoding suffers from a contradiction between the generation speed and pattern amount. Spatial light modulators are commonly used for random speckle generation at relatively low speeds. Wavelength scanning combined with a scattering medium has a fast speed, while the pattern amount is limited by the optical bandwidth. To increase the performance of optical random speckle encoding, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, scheme combining wavelength and phase hybrid modulation is proposed and demonstrated. Through optical encoding in the two dimensions of wavelength and phase, the number of speckle patterns can reach one million, which is over 10,000 times that generated by only wavelength scanning. This scheme can be used in ghost imaging systems to increase the resolution of reconstructed images.
