Quantitative phase imaging is the measurement of spatially varying phase distributions induced by scattering from a sample, permitting the observation of transparent objects and metrology. Conventional approaches to quantitative phase imaging systems typically involve bulky optical components and large propagation distances. The expanded functionality provided by metasurface optical...

Polarimetric imaging reveals optical information inaccessible to conventional intensity-only imaging by resolving the polarization state of light, thereby providing an additional degree of freedom for advanced imaging and sensing. However, conventional polarimetric imaging systems typically require time-sequential acquisition [1] or cascaded bulk optical components [2], limiting their...

Rapid growth of AI leads to an increasing demand for computational systems capable of processing large datasets. As AI workloads become large, conventional computing architectures face challenges with energy consumption and scalability. Photonic reservoir computing offers an attractive solution for certain machine learning tasks by exploiting the intrinsic dynamics of physical systems. While...

We present an improved continuous phase-shifting digital holography method for micro-object imaging based on a dual-reference configuration. The proposed technique extends continuous phase-shifting holography [1] and follows the general Fourier-transform spectrometry principle underlying hyperspectral holography [2].

In the proposed scheme, a diffraction grating generates two first...
