Abstract

One important field of laser application involves their use in optical processing, an area now often referred to as optical computing. In this field use is often made of the Fourier transform property of a lens and the associated filtering procedure called spatial filtering. To introduce these and related concepts dealing with the electro-optical processing of information, we will review several applications of Fourier analysis, Fourier series, and the Fourier transform.
