- Abstract summary: We show how to perform absorption imaging with only a single exposure.
Instead of a second exposure the reference frame is generated by an unsupervised image-completion neural network.
The network is trained on images without absorption signal such that it can infer the noise overlaying the atomic signal based only on the information in the region encircling the signal.

- Abstract: Absorption imaging is the most common probing technique in experiments with
ultracold atoms. The standard procedure involves the division of two frames
acquired at successive exposures, one with the atomic absorption signal and one
without. A well-known problem is the presence of residual structured noise in
the final image, due to small differences between the imaging light in the two
exposures. Here we solve this problem by performing absorption imaging with
only a single exposure, where instead of a second exposure the reference frame
is generated by an unsupervised image-completion autoencoder neural network.
The network is trained on images without absorption signal such that it can
infer the noise overlaying the atomic signal based only on the information in
the region encircling the signal. We demonstrate our approach on data captured
with a quantum degenerate Fermi gas. The average residual noise in the
resulting images is below that of the standard double-shot technique. Our
method simplifies the experimental sequence, reduces the hardware requirements,
and can improve the accuracy of extracted physical observables. The trained
network and its generating scripts are available as an open-source repository
(http://absDL.github.io/).

Noise is an important issue for radiographic and tomographic imaging techniques.
It becomes particularly critical in applications where additional constraints force a strong reduction of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) per image.
