title: Multiplex holography with chirp-modulated binary phase-coded reference-beam masks.
abstract: Certain binary codes developed for spread-spectrum communication applications can be used to construct families of pseudorandom diffuser masks suitable for multiplex holography. Binary codes are used so that fabrication of the diffuser masks can be relatively straightforward. A simple technique is described for chirp-modulating the binary diffuser masks to achieve the advantage of polyphase masks, i.e., improved correlation properties, without having to construct them. Numerical comparisons of the correlation properties of optimal binary codes with and without chirp-modulation are presented.
