Abstract

A new technique for constructing a low-noise linear-diffraction grating by an optical processing technique with an encoded extended incoherent source is presented. Experimental results obtained with this technique show a substantial improvement in the reduction of coherent artifact noise over that obtained by means of traditional holographic techniques.
