ABSTRACT:
Image derogating optical noise due to light scattering of an object under amination, embedded in, or positioned in front of a light scattering medium, is substantially reduced by employing a two-dimensional all optical phase sensitive holographic detector and vibrating the light scattering material at an ultra-sonic frequency to produce both signal sidebands and noise sidebands. Homodyne and hetrodyne techniques are used to filter out sidebands due to the light scattering noise and pass the desired signals, thereby to output a clear image of the object free of optical scatter noise. A smart pixel image converter light valve may be substituted for the photorefractive member.
