Aperture tapering in a coherent optical correlator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Sharp edges located in an optical correlator input beam cause unwanted edge effects. A 1-D analysis is used to demonstrate this effect and how edge tapers can reduce this effect. Then an aperture made on film approximating the best taper is used to reduce the spurious signals in a matched filter correlator.
