Coherent Field Phase Retrieval Using a Phase Zernike Filter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aberrations of the coherent wavefront are analyzed using a phase Zernike filter. Developed iterative methods allow us to design a filter that decomposes the analyzed light field into a set of diffraction orders with amplitudes proportional to the circular Zernike polynomials. We also apply the algorithm to the calculation of the light field phase from measurements of the modules of decomposition coefficients. Operation of a 25-channel filter is simulated.

Experimental verification of coherent diffractive imaging by a direct phase retrieval method with an aperture-array filter.
Recently, we have proposed a coherent diffractive imaging using a noniterative phase retrieval method with the filter of an aperture array. The first (to our knowledge) experimental demonstration of this coherent imaging is presented here, in which a complex-valued object illuminated by a diode laser is reconstructed from the isolated diffraction intensities of the object's wave field, transmit...
متن کاملNijboer-Zernike phase retrieval for high contrast imaging
We introduce a novel phase retrieval method for astronomical applications based on the Nijboer-Zernike (NZ) theory of diffraction. We present a generalized NZ phase retrieval process that is not limited to small and symmetric aberrations and can therefore be directly applied to astronomical imaging instruments. We describe a practical demonstration of this novel method that was recently perform...

James R. Fienup used phase retrieval algorithms to determine the aberrations in the Hubble Space Telescope. The theory of phase retrieval is described in this paper. Other applications of phase retrieval, such as undersampled broadband images, lensless coherent imaging, and optical metrology, are also discussed. Introduction: James R. Fienup established the use of phase retrieval in the early 1...
متن کاملVibrational phase contrast microscopy by use of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering.
In biological samples the resonant coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering signal of less abundant constituents can be overwhelmed by the nonresonant background, preventing detection of those molecules. We demonstrate a method to obtain the phase of the oscillators in the focal volume that allows discrimination of those hidden molecules. The phase is measured with respect to the local excitation ...
متن کاملLensless coherent imaging by a deterministic phase retrieval method with an aperture-array filter.
Recently we have proposed a noniterative and analytic phase retrieval method using the filter of an aperture array to reconstruct a complex-valued object from a diffraction intensity pattern [Phys. Rev. Lett.98, 223901 (2007)], but this method suffers from the restriction of the far-field condition of two distances between the object and the filter and between the filter and the detector for th...
