Optical correlation by use of partial phase-only modulation with VGA liquid-crystal displays

Abstract

The development of liquid-crystal panels for use in commercial equipment has been aimed at improving the pixel resolution and the display efficiency. These improvements have led to a reduction in the thickness of such devices, among other outcomes, that involves a loss in phase modulation. We propose a modification of the classical phase-only filter to permit displays in VGA liquid-crystal panels with a constant amplitude modulation and less than a 2π phase modulation. The method was tested experimentally in an optical setup.
