Abstract

A new direction-dependent spatial filtering is presented with a self-pumped BaTiO₃ crystal as an optical phase conjugator in two different geometries. In the first geometry, an input object (e.g., the letter K) is focused into the crystal by a Fourier transforming lens. As the crystal was located at the back focal plane of the lens, the vertical edges of the object orthogonal to the plane of incidence became most significantly enhanced. Other deviated from the orthogonal direction gradually fell off in brightness. Much better performance in speed and system control could be achieved with the second geometry where a reference beam along with a spatial filter forms gratings inside the crystal and the object beam focuses toward the gratings. The direction-dependency was then achieved with a long-narrow spatial filter oriented horizontally in the reference beam. The result is a high speed direction-dependent edge enhancement. The effect of the filter size on the performance is also discussed.
