• Abstract: We present a novel learning-based method to build a differentiable computational model of a real fluorescence microscope. Our model can be used to calibrate a real optical setup directly from data samples and to engineer point spread functions by specifying the desired input-output data. This approach is poised to drastically improve the design of microscopes, because the parameters of current models of optical setups cannot be easily fit to real data. Inspired by the recent progress in deep learning, our solution is to build a differentiable wave optics simulator as a composition of trainable modules, each computing light wave-front (WF) propagation due to a specific optical element. We call our differentiable modules WaveBlocks and show reconstruction results in the case of lenses, wave propagation in air, camera sensors and diffractive elements (e.g., phase-masks).

  Accurate calibration of the wavefront and intensity profile of the laser beam at the SLM display is key to the high fidelity of holographic potentials. Here, we present a new calibration technique that is faster than previous methods while maintaining the same level of accuracy. This approach allows us to measure the wavefront at the SLM to within $lambda /170$ in 5 minutes using only 10 SLM phase patterns.

  In astronomy, upcoming space telescopes with wide-field optical instruments have a spatially varying point spread function (PSF) Current data-driven PSF models can tackle spatial variations and super-resolution, but are not capable of capturing chromatic variations. By adding a differentiable optical forward model into the modeling framework, we change the data-driven modeling space from the pixels to the wavefront.
