Abstract

A flexible rejection filter removes coherent radiation from an incoming beam of light. The filter includes a beamsplitter for dividing the transmitted portion into first and second beams. A photorefractive crystal in the paths of the first and second beams couples coherent radiation from the first beam to the second beam. A focal plane detector follows the crystal in the path of the first beam for sensing the incoherent radiation in the first beam, while a beam dump follows the crystal in the path of the second beam for absorbing the coherent radiation of the second beam. Other filter configurations can utilize contradirectional energy coupling or resonator structures in conjunction with photorefractive media.
