Other ways
There are, of course,
other optical systems that
will produce the same
intensity distribution.
(a) The modified Mach-
Zehnder interferometer
(b) The modified
Rayleigh interferometer
As a final step in the synthesis of frequency-plane mask,
the exposed film is developed to produce a transparency
which has an amplitude transmittance that is
proportional to the intensity distribution that was
incident during exposure.
Thus the amplitude transmittance of the filter is of the

The third and fourth terms of this expression are of
particular interest.
The third output term yields a convolution of h and g centered
at coordinates (0,-f) in the (x3,y3) plane.
The fourth term is the cross-correlation of h and g centered at
coordinates (0,f) in the (x3,y3) plane.

Advantages of the VanderLugt
filter
The use of a VanderLugt filter removes the two most
serious limitations to conventional coherent optical
processors.
When a specified impulse response is desired, the task of
finding the associated transfer function is eliminated; the
impulse response is Fourier transformed optically by the
system that synthesizes the frequency-plane mask.
The generally complicated complex-valued transfer function is
synthesized with a single absorbing mask; the phase
transmittance through the frequency plane need no longer be
controlled in a complicated manner.
The absorbing mask is simply immersed in a liquid gate to
eliminate all relative phase shifts.
