Abstract

An application of optical parallel processing in the generation of fractal images is presented.Iterated function systems [ M. Barnsley, Fractals Everywhere ( Academic, Boston, Mass., 1988), Chap. 3] are the basis of the operation, which can be easily implemented with optical techniques. An optical fractal synthesizer is considered to compute iterated function systems effectively with the advantages of optical processing in data continuity as well as parallelism. As an instance of the optical fractal synthesizer, an experimental system consisting of two optical subsystems for affine transformation and a TV-feedback line is constructed. Several experimental results verify the principle and show the processing capability of the optical fractal synthesizer.
