The invention discloses a multi-
wavelength space
light field differential operation device based on a
diffraction grating, and belongs to the field of optical
information processing. The spatial lightfield
differentiator designed by the invention has the advantages of capability of simultaneously working at multiple wavelengths, simple design, micro-
nano device thickness, easiness in large-scalepreparation, capability of being integrated with a
silicon-based device and the like. According to the invention, the
waveguide mode in the
dielectric waveguide layer is excited, and the
transfer function of the device is linear, so that first-order differential
processing is carried out on an input space
light field. According to the invention, a plurality of different
waveguide modes can be correspondingly excited at a plurality of wavelengths at the same time, and first-order spatial differential operation of a
light field can be realized at the plurality of wavelengths at the same time. The multi-
wavelength space light field differential operation device can be used for ultra-fast, real-time and large-flux
image processing such as
edge extraction, and has important technical application prospects in medical and
satellite image processing.
