  • This approach combines two spatially sampled phase elements using a low-pass filter in the Fourier plane of a specific optical system.
  • The technique has been both theoretically proven and experimentally tested using a spatial light modulator, a CMOS camera, and a wavefront sensor for measuring the complex field.

Article Abstract

We show that the amplitude and phase information from a two-dimensional complex field can be synthesized from a phase-only optical element with micrometric resolution. The principle of the method is based on the combination of two spatially sampled phase elements by using a low-pass filter at the Fourier plane of a 4-f optical system. The proposed encoding technique was theoretically demonstrated, as well as experimentally validated with the help of a phase-only spatial light modulator for phase encoding, a conventional CMOS camera to measure the amplitude of the complex field, and a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor to determine its phase.

Transmission matrix measurements of multimode fibers are now routinely performed in numerous laboratories, enabling control of the electric field at the distal end of the fiber and paving the way for the potential application to ultrathin medical endoscopes with high resolution. The same concepts are applicable to other areas, such as space division multiplexing, targeted power delivery, fiber laser performance, and the general study of the mode coupling properties of the fiber. However, the process of building an experimental setup and developing the supporting code to measure the fiber's transmission matrix remains challenging and time consuming, with full details on experimental design, data collection, and supporting algorithms spread over multiple papers or lacking in detail.

The computer-assisted inverse design of photonic computing, especially by leveraging artificial intelligence algorithms, offers great convenience to accelerate the speed of development and improve calculation accuracy. However, traditional thickness-based modulation methods are hindered by large volume and difficult fabrication process, making it hard to meet the data-driven requirements of flexible light modulation. Here, we propose a diffractive deep neural network (DNN) framework based on a three-layer all-dielectric phased transmitarray as hidden layers, which can perform the classification of handwritten digits.

An interesting security method for a multiple-image authentication scheme is proposed based on computer-generated holograms and a logistic map. First, each original image is encoded as the complex-valued hologram under the point light source model. The resulting hologram is then converted to a phase-only hologram using the Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm.

Computer-generated holography (CGH) is an effective light field manipulation technique based on diffractive optics. Deep learning provides a promising way to break the trade-off between quality and speed in the phase-only hologram (POH) generation process. In this paper, a neural network called BERDNet is proposed for high-quality and high-speed POH generation.
