• Abstract: The multi-plane phase retrieval method provides a budget-friendly and effective way to perform phase imaging, yet it often encounters alignment challenges due to shifts along the optical axis in experiments. Traditional methods, such as employing beamsplitters instead of mechanical stage movements or adjusting focus using tunable light sources, add complexity to the setup required for multi-plane phase retrieval. Attempts to address these issues computationally face difficulties due to the variable impact of diffraction, which renders conventional homography techniques inadequate. In our research, we introduce a novel Adaptive Cascade Calibrated (ACC) strategy for multi-plane phase retrieval that overcomes misalignment issues. This technique detects feature points within the refocused sample space and calculates the transformation matrix for neighboring planes on-the-fly to digitally adjust measurements, facilitating alignment-free multi-plane phase retrieval. This approach not only avoids the need for complex and expensive optical hardware but also simplifies the imaging setup, reducing overall costs. The effectiveness of our method is validated through simulations and real-world optical experiments.

  A phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) provides a powerful way to shape laser beams into arbitrary intensity patterns. We show that optimal transport methods can generate approximate solutions to a problem of determining an appropriate SLM phase. We also show that analogous algorithms can be used to measure the intensity and phase of the input beam incident upon the SLM.

  We characterize the optics with separated aberrations to achieve efficient joint design of complex systems such as smartphones and drones. An image simulation system is presented to reproduce the genuine imaging procedure of lenses with large field-of-views. Experiments reveal that the preference for correcting separated aberrations in joint design is as follows: longitudinal chromatic aberration, lateral chromatic aberration, spherical aberration, field curvature, and coma, with astigmatism coming last.

  We study the problem of stereo matching from a pair of images with different resolutions, e.g., those acquired with a tele-wide camera system. We propose to impose the consistency between two views in a feature space instead of the image space, named feature-metric consistency. We find that, although a stereo matching network trained with the photometric loss is not optimal, its feature extractor can produce degradation-agnostic and matching-specific features.
