Abstract
All optical phaseonly filtering correlator is constructed with an optically addressed ferroelectric liquidcrystal spatial light modulator FSLM for a binarized input object and a twistednematic liquidcrystal spatiallight modulator for a computergenerated phaseonly filter In order to improve the discrimination capability of a phaseonly filtering correlator a binarized amplitude with maximum contrast in a FSLM is used for an object input The contrast of binarized intensities can be maximized by adjusting the rotation angles of a FSLM and polarizers The threshold level of binarized input objects can be controlled by changing the power of a laser incident on a FLSM Experimental results with a high discrimination capability are presented to support the numerical correlation performance
