Optical signal processsing usually involves direct manipulation of information carrying optical properties without requiring previous opto-electronic conversion. The IGM is investigating the design of optical bandpass thin-film filters using a precise mathematical algorithm based on methods from electronic filter synthesis. Other algorithms optimized this process by a priori reduction of the space of possible solutions.
Other activits include the design and production of synthetic holograms.
