Optical Devices

ABSTRACT

This is a psychometric optical device I designed and built in 1998. I published a paper that used this device, but here are the complete details.

Optical pattern contrast reduction

This device mixes a sharp image of a pattern with a highly blurred version of itself. This reduces the pattern's contrast. This can be used to estimate pattern strength by the method of adjustments.
