We present a new experimental system for optical encryption using a nonlinear joint transform correlator (JTC) to implement the optical security technique of the double random phase encoding (DRPE). The DRPE, which is usually performed in a 4f-processor, encodes an image into a noisy distribution (e...

| Sumario: | We present a new experimental system for optical encryption using a nonlinear joint transform correlator (JTC) to implement the optical security technique of the double random phase encoding (DRPE). The DRPE, which is usually performed in a 4f-processor, encodes an image into a noisy distribution (encrypted image) by using two random phase masks (RPMs). In our experimental setup, the input plane of the JTC is fully encoded in phase and this plane contains two non-overlapping data functions (images). In the encryption step, the phase-encoded image to be encrypted and the two RPMs are placed in the input plane of the JTC with the purpose of obtaining the needed intensity distributions at the output plane to compute the encrypted image. The optical and numerical transformations are performed in the Fourier domain. A nonlinear operation is introduced to modify the joint power spectrum (JPS) of the JTC in order to reproduce exactly the same results of the DRPE. The experimental optical encryption scheme based on a three-step JTC is implemented by using an optoelectronic setup. The input plane of the JTC is optically implemented by means of a phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM). The decryption process is performed using a virtual optical system. Experimental and numerical results of the optical encryption and simulated decryption systems are presented, in order to show the feasibility of the proposed security system. |
