Abstract

A no interference optical image encryption is put forward in this paper. The encrypting process is composed of a Fresnel diffraction and a Fourier transformation. A digital image coded with a random phase plate first takes a Fresnel diffraction. The diffraction function is enlarged and coded with another random phase mask. At last the enlarged function undergoes a Fourier transformation. The real part of the transformed function is defined as an encrypted image. In decrypting process, first the encrypted image takes an inverse Fourier transformation. Then the upper left corner of the transformed function is intercepted. According to the space inversion of the transformed function, if the intercepted function takes an inverse Fresnel diffraction, the original digital image can be restored from the final diffraction function. Because there is no interference process in encryption and decryption, the optical system is relatively simple and the quality of restored image is very good
