Research abstract
IN THIS PROGRAM PHYSICAL OPTICS CORPORATION (POC) PROPOSES A NEW APPROACH TO HOLOGRAPHIC DECOY FABRICATION BY EMPLOYING ITS HIGH EFFICIENCY HOLOGRAPHIC FOIL TECHNOLOGY BASED ON VOLUME BRAGG HOLOGRAPHY TO PRODUCE HOLOGRAPHIC DECOYS OF EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS BRIGHTNESS, LARGE SIZE AND WIDE ANGULAR VISIBILITY. THE MOST ATTRACTIVE APPLICATIONS OF HOLOGRAPHY IN FALSE TARGET SIMULATION TO BE INVESTIGATED IN THIS PROJECT RESIDE IN REAL IMAGE HOLOGRAPHY DECOYS WHERE THE 3D IMAGES OF MILITARY OBJECTS CAN BE PROJECTED IN SPACE SIMULATING THE REAL OBJECT. SUCH 3D DECOYS CAN NOT BE DISTINGUISHED FROM REAL OBJECTS BY ANY OPTICAL SENSORS. WITH OUR ADVANCED HOLOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES WE CAN RECORD THE INFORMATION IN THE HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGE, HAVE IT RECONSTRUCTED BY WHITE LIGHT ILLUMINATION WHILE PRESERVING THE REAL SHAPE AND COLORS OF THE OBJECT.
