Phase‐Retrieved High‐Throughput Multi‐Channel Simultaneous Surface Plasmon Resonance Detection
This work presents a new phase‐retrieval high‐throughput multi‐channel simultaneous SPR detection framework. By integrating an objective lens‐based coupling system with a rotation‐based ePIE (r‐ePIE) phase retrieval on the back focal planes, this framework significantly reduces the minimum required detection area to reveal localized information.
