Far-field diffraction computational imaging based on parameter-robust illumination and direct phase optimization

Abstract

Coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) is a promising imaging technique revealing most of the information from diffraction measurements. An ideal CDI should reconstruct complex-valued object from a single-shot far-field diffraction without any priori information about the target. To realize the ideal CDI, we propose a class of parameter-robust illumination pattern. A direct phase optimizing algorithm is also raised here to improve the performance of phase retrieval in strong noise. Experimental result demonstrates the efficiency of our scheme in practical noisy measurement for complex-valued target.
