Digging Deeper through Biological Specimens Using Adaptive Optics-Based Optical Microscopy
Photonics, 2023 Optical microscopy is a vital tool for visualizing the cellular and sub-cellular structures of biological specimens. However, due to its limited penetration depth, its biological applicability has been hindered.

Beam wavefront retrieval by convoluted spatial spectral benchmark
Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2021 We propose a method for retrieving a beam wavefront from its near-field intensity distribution after a 4f system by simply inserting a benchmark at the Fourier plane.

Compressive Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Sensor based on Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
, 2020 The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is widely used to measure aberrations induced by atmospheric turbulence in adaptive optics systems. However if there exists strong atmospheric turbulence or the brightness of guide stars is low, the accuracy of wavefront measurements will be affected.

Space-variant Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing based on affine transformation estimation [PDF]
Applied Optics, 2022, 2022 The space-variant wavefront reconstruction problem inherently exists in deep tissue imaging. In this paper,we propose a framework of Shack-Hartmann wavefront space-variant sensing with extended source illumination. The space-variant wavefront is modeled as a four-dimensional function where two dimensionsare in the spatial domain and two in the Fourier ...

Shack Hartmann wavefront sensor with array of phase coded masks [PDF]
, 2021 Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors (SHWS) are generally used to measure the wavefront curvature of light beams. Measurement accuracy and the sensitivity of these sensors are important factors for better wavefront sensing. In this study, we demonstrate a new type of SHWS with better measurement accuracy than the regular SHWS.

Telescope to Observe Planetary Systems (TOPS): a high throughput 1.2-m visible telescope with a small inner working angle [PDF]
, 2006 The Telescope to Observe Planetary Systems (TOPS) is a proposed space mission to image in the visible (0.4-0.9 micron) planetary systems of nearby stars simultaneously in 16 spectral bands (resolution R~20). For the ~10 most favorable stars, it will have

Joint optimization of wavefront sensing and reconstruction with automatic differentiation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 High-contrast imaging instruments need extreme wavefront control to directly image exoplanets. This requires highly sensitive wavefront sensors which optimally make use of the available photons to sense the wavefront. Here, we propose to numerically optimize Fourier-filtering wavefront sensors using automatic differentiation.

Wavefront sensing reveals optical coherence [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 Wavefront sensing is a set of techniques providing efficient means to ascertain the shape of an optical wavefront or its deviation from an ideal reference. Due to its wide dynamical range and high optical efficiency, the Shack-Hartmann is nowadays the most widely used of these sensors.
