Abstract:Correlated imaging, or ghost imaging, has aroused the interest of researchers in recent years. Optical phased array (OPA) as a high-integration, low-cost, and high-speed light illuminating device is suitable for application in correlated imaging. Here we use a two-dimensional 4 × 4 silicon integrated OPA in which each channel has an independently tunable phase shifter. In this work, the new features of correlated imaging given by periodic pseudo-thermal light field of OPA are demonstrated. The correlated imaging with biperiodic light field of OPA under different conditions including darkroom, thermal noise and phase perturbation without splitter is reported; the image stitching based on biperiodic light field of OPA is also presented. This work is of significance in promoting the progress of imaging technology and expanding the application of OPA. Keywords:optical phased array/ correlated imaging/ periodic pseudo-thermal light field
由图4可看出, 受OPA阵元数量限制, 重构图像的分辨率较低, 不同大小的目标重构后的成像质量差别显著, 在1个光场周期内, 目标尺寸较大时成像质量较高, 因此选用像素数P = 333 × 233作为实际目标的尺寸, 实际目标1如图3(b)所示, 其长度为333 μm × 15 μm ≈ 5 mm, 宽度为233 μm × 15 μm ≈ 3.5 mm, 厚度为1 mm, 加工精度为0.1 mm. 23.2.实际目标的关联成像 -->
3.2.实际目标的关联成像
在图3的实验系统中位置T只放置目标1, 分别在暗室、有相位干扰和有热光噪声的条件下进行实际目标的关联成像实验, 实验中的相位干扰是通过在目标后放置随机相位板实现, 热光噪声是由LED灯光照明产生的. 施加相位干扰前后红外相机接收到的图像如图5所示. 图6给出了重构图及其峰值信噪比(peak signal to noise ratio, PSNR)随采样次数K变化的结果, 为了对比成像的效果, 同时将基于Matlab的仿真结果也置于图中. 随着K的增大, 重构图逐渐清晰, PSNR曲线逐渐收敛, 在存在相位干扰和热光噪声的条件下仍然能够较清晰地重构目标, 这说明本实验系统工作具有很好的鲁棒性. 图 5 施加相位干扰前后红外相机接收的图像 Figure5.
