Real-time optical correlator using photorefractive GaAsA real-time optical correlator based on GaAs and liquid-crystal TV (LCTV) is demonstrated. The demonstrated system has a video-frame rate limited by the speed of the LCTVs; if faster spatial-light modulators are used, the potential frame rate of a GaAs-based correlator can be as fast as 1000 frames/sec under experimental conditions. Comparisons are made between VanderLugt and joint transform and between degenerate and nondegenerate four-wave mixing. The edge-enhancement effect and the Bragg diffraction effect are discussed.
