Abstract

Synthetic discriminant functions (SDFs) made using Fresnel lens-encoded binary phase-only filters are shown to yield increased performance relative to SDFs constructed using conventional binary phase-only filters. We present both computer simulations and experimental results in which these SDFs are written onto the magnetooptic spatial light modulator.
