• Abstract: Point spread function (PSF) engineering has been pivotal in the remarkable progress made in high-resolution imaging in the last decades. However, the diversity in PSF structures attainable through existing engineering methods is limited. Here, we report universal PSF engineering, demonstrating a method to synthesize an arbitrary set of spatially varying 3D PSFs between the input and output volumes of a spatially incoherent diffractive processor composed of cascaded transmissive surfaces. We rigorously analyze the PSF engineering capabilities of such diffractive processors within the diffraction limit of light and provide numerical demonstrations of unique imaging capabilities, such as snapshot 3D multispectral imaging without involving any spectral filters, axial scanning or digital reconstruction steps, which is enabled by the spatial and spectral engineering of 3D PSFs. Our framework and analysis would be important for future advancements in computational imaging, sensing and diffractive processing of 3D optical information.

  Light field (LF) cameras record both intensity and directions of light rays, and encode 3D scenes into 4D LF images. It is challenging for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to process LF images since the spatial and angular information are highly inter-twined with varying disparities. We propose a generic mechanism to disentangle these coupled information for LF image processing.

  A long-standing challenge in multiple-particle-tracking is the accurate and precise 3D localization of individual particles at close proximity.

Here we suggest using multiple PSFs simultaneously to help overcome this challenge, and investigate the problem of engineering multiple PSFs for dense 3D localization.
