Research abstract
Underwater target detection and identification is difficult data analysis problem. The inherent parallelism of optical signal processing lends itself well to the problem of sonar signal processing. A high speed multichannel optical correlator is proposed. This system employs preprocessing signal conditioning and an incoherent optical time-integration scheme which provides for long integration times and a large correlation range. The system is capable of performing 1000 parallel correlation of 1000 points per correlogram in parallel.
