The technique of spectral polarization imaging (SPI) is a potent detection tool in various fields due to its ability to capture multi-dimensional information. However, existing SPI systems usually face challenges associated with architectural complexity and computational requirements, rendering them unsuitable for handheld, on-board, and real-time applications. Consequently, a compact single-shot multispectral polarization imager (CSMPI) is proposed, which employs a combined spectral-polarization encoding strategy to address the aforementioned issues. It incorporates a coded aperture for encoding multiple spectral channels together with linear polarization into a single measurement, enabling the simultaneous detection of up to nine light components with just one exposure. The resulting prototype consists solely of a color polarization detector and an imaging lens inserted with the small and easily fabricable coded aperture, which features compact dimensions of Φ5.5 cm × 21.5 cm and a light weight of approximately 670 g. This is particularly advantageous for application areas that require system miniaturization and rapid multi-dimensional detection.

Quantitative optical phase information provides an alternative method to observe biomedical properties, where conventional phase imaging fails. Phase retrieval typically requires multiple intensity measurements and iterative computations to ensure uniqueness and robustness against detection noise. To increase the measurement speed, we propose a single-shot quantitative phase imaging method with metasurface optics that can be conveniently integrated into conventional imaging systems with minimal modification.

Article Synopsis
- Polarization photodetectors (pol-PDs) are essential for various fields like geological remote sensing and biological medicine, but existing commercial versions are bulky and slow due to their complex optical systems.
- A new single-shot pol-PD inspired by desert ants features a compact design with four-directional grating arrays and a perovskite single-crystal thin film, eliminating the need for traditional polarization optics.
- This innovative pol-PD significantly outperforms commercial models in detectivity and sensitivity, showcasing its potential in applications such as bionic navigation, image restoration in foggy conditions, stress visualization of materials, and identifying cancerous tissues without staining.

We review state-of-the-art electron beams for single-shot megaelectronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV-UED) and compact light sources. Our primary focus is on sub-100 femtosecond electron bunches in the 2-30 MeV energy range. We demonstrate that our new and recent simulation results permit significantly improved bunch parameters for these applications.

In this work, a data driven approach for automatic estimation of these field imperfections is developed by combining autofocus metrics with deep learning, and by leveraging a compact basis representation of the expected field imperfections. The method was applied to single-shot spiral diffusion MRI at high b-values where accurate estimation of B0 and eddy were obtained, resulting in high quality image reconstruction without need for additional external calibrations.
