Abstract

A multichannel joint-transform correlator that incorporates a Dammann grating as a beam splitter is described. The Dammann grating splits a single incident beam into a two-dimensional array of equal-intensity beams, which form several channels for correlation. Each channel contains both a single target and a single reference. Optical experimental results are presented.
