    Abstract: A 3-D imaging system including a computer determining a plurality of coherence factors measuring an intensity contrast between a first intensity of a first region of an interference comprising constructive interference between a sample wavefront and a reference wavefront, and a second intensity of a second region of the interference comprising destructive interference between the sample wavefront and the reference wavefront, wherein the interference between a reference wavefront and a reflection from different locations on a surface of an object. From the coherence factors, the computer determines height data comprising heights of the surface with respect to an x-y plane perpendicular to the heights and as a function of the locations in the x-y plane. The height data is useful for generating a three dimensional topological image of the surface.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of Fourier ptychographic imaging configured for illuminating a specimen being imaged from a plurality of incidence angles, for acquiring variably-illuminated, low-resolution intensity images of the specimen, and for reconstructing a high-resolution image of the specimen by iteratively determining the high resolution image that is self-consistent with the variably-illuminated, low-resolution intensity images, for example, by updating overlapping regions of variably-illuminated, low-resolution intensity images in Fourier space.

    Abstract: Optical wavefront shaping has been the standard technique to control light through scattering media. Implicit in this dominance is the assumption that knowledge of the optical phase is a necessity for optical control through scattering media. In this paper, we challenge this assumption by reporting on an intensity-only approach for light control through (or reflected from) a disordered scattering medium—optical-channel-based intensity streaming (OCIS). Instead of actively tuning the interference between the optical paths via wavefront shaping, OCIS can control light and transmit information through or from scattering media with linear intensity operation, which not only simplifies and speeds up the system but also enables new applications. We experimentally created focus patterns through scattering media in a sub-millisecond timescale with a phase-manipulation-free setup. We also demonstrate that, unlike wavefront shaping, OCIS can readily generate distinct energy null points through scattering media. Finally, we demonstrate that OCIS enables a scattering medium mediated secure optical communication application.

    Abstract: An integrated sensor and optical phase/amplitude modulator device including a modulator stacked on or above a detector. A circuit receives a signal outputted from the detector in response to an input field irradiating the detector. The circuit performs binary operations comprising classifying the input phase of the input electromagnetic radiation into one of two ranges and setting the modulator into one of two states depending on which range the input phase is classified into. The modulator transmits output electromagnetic radiation having an output field modulated according to the state of the modulator set by the circuit.

    Abstract: Certain embodiments pertain to Multiplexed Fourier Ptychographic imaging systems and methods. In one example, the Multiplexed Fourier Ptychographic imaging system includes an LED array configured to illuminate a sequence of LED patterns for illuminating a sample being imaged. The system includes LED circuitry configured to independently control power to turn on multiple LEDs simultaneously in each LED pattern of the array. The system has a light detector that acquires a first set of lower resolution images of the sample each image acquired during exposure time during illumination by a unique LED pattern. The system uses the first set of lower resolution images to generate a second set of lower resolution images associated with each LED in the LED array and iteratively updates overlapping regions in the Fourier domain with the second set of lower resolution images to generate a higher resolution image.
