A 2f Fourier transform optical correlator uses two simple, single element lenses, with the second lens performing both quadratic phase term removal and the inverse Fourier transform operation in a compact two-focal-length space. This correlator performs correlations quite well and uses three less lens elements than a prior 2f system, is shorter by a factor of two compared to the standard 4f system, and uses one less lens than the 3f system, while still retaining the variable scale feature.
