The availability of high resolution spatial light modulators (SLMs) and modern digital signal processors (DSPs) allows a convenient hybridization of digital and optical image processing to produce a small and compact correlator system. The hybridization allows the optical Fourier transform lens system for a correlator to be compact, such that it will fit inside a conventional PC. We describe the design of the optical system.
