Deep residual learning for low-order wavefront sensing in high-contrast imaging systems.

open access: yesOptics Express, 2020
Sensing and correction of low-order wavefront aberrations is critical for high-contrast astronomical imaging. State of the art coronagraph systems typically use image-based sensing methods that exploit the rejected on-axis light, such as Lyot-based low ...

Angle‐ and Polarization‐Tolerant Metasurface Designs Based on the Aperiodic Tiling

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A novel aperiodic metasurface design is introduced to mitigate the inherent angle and polarization sensitivity of conventional metasurfaces. By employing a recently discovered aperiodic tiling approach, identical elliptical scatterers are arranged with systematic variations in their spacing and orientation, effectively minimizing spectral reflectance ...

Efficient decoding of 2D structured illumination with linear phase stepping in X-ray phase contrast and dark-field imaging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The ability to map the phase distribution and lateral coherence of an x-ray wavefront offers the potential for imaging the human body through phase contrast, without the need to deposit significant radiation energy. The classic means to achieve this goal

Rapid Electro‐Thermal Micro‐Actuation of Flat Optics Enabled by Laser‐Induced Graphene on Colorless Polyimide Substrates

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 19, July 4, 2025.
Laser‐induced graphene (LIG) on a colorless polyimide (CPI) substrate functions as both an electrical heater and a heat spreader, enabling rapid electro‐thermo‐optic actuation. The system achieves reflective beam scanning up to 2 kHz and diffractive beam steering with 0.5‐millidegree resolution and a 0.9 s response time, showcasing LIG‐CPI as a soft ...

Spin‐Orbit Photonics with Potato Starch Lenses

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Native potato starch spherulites are introduced as volumetric optical elements that modulate both dynamic and geometric phases of light. These spherulites focus light and generate optical vortices via spin‐orbit interaction, functioning as polarization‐sensitive microlenses. Their unique radial anisotropy enables applications in vortex beam generation,
