Video-rate holographic telepresence via single-shot, reference-free wavefront measurement

We present a reference-free holographic telepresence system that directly captures and replays complex optical wavefronts from a single intensity speckle measurement. Using a pre-characterized geometric phase diffuser, the incident field self-interferes to form a speckle pattern, from which the wavefront is recovered via a speckle-correlation scattering-matrix approach and refined using smoothed amplitude flow with Nesterov acceleration. The reconstructed phase is directly projected onto a spatial light modulator for holographic replay. We demonstrate volumetric refocusing, dynamic three-dimensional reconstruction, and sustained video-rate operation at approximately 28 frames per second with modest communication bandwidth. The results highlight measurement-driven wavefront acquisition as a practical pathway toward compact and physically faithful holographic telepresence.

Low-coherence optical diffraction tomography using a ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) is a three-dimensional (3D) label-free imaging technique. The 3D refractive index distribution of a sample can be reconstructed from multiple two-dimensional optical field images via ODT. Herein, we introduce a temporally low-coherence ODT technique using a ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulator (FLC SLM). The fast binary-phase modulation provided by the FLC SLM ensures a high spatiotemporal resolution with considerably reduced coherent noise. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed system using various samples, including colloidal microspheres and live epithelial cells.

Generalized quantification of three-dimensional resolution in optical diffraction tomography using the projection of maximal spatial bandwidths

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) is a three-dimensional (3D) quantitative phase imaging technique, which enables the reconstruction of the 3D refractive index (RI) distribution of a transparent sample. Due to its fast, non-invasive, and quantitative 3D imaging capability, ODT has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for various applications. However, the spatial resolution of ODT has only been quantified along the lateral and axial directions for limited conditions; it has not been investigated for arbitrary-oblique directions. In this paper, we systematically quantify the 3D spatial resolution of ODT by exploiting the spatial bandwidth of the reconstructed scattering potential. The 3D spatial resolution is calculated for various types of ODT systems, including the illumination-scanning, sample-rotation, and hybrid scanning-rotation methods. In particular, using the calculated 3D spatial resolution, we provide the spatial resolution as well as the arbitrary sliced angle. Furthermore, to validate the present method, the point spread function of an ODT system is experimentally obtained using the deconvolution of a 3D RI distribution of a microsphere and is compared with the calculated resolution. The present method for defining spatial resolution in ODT is directly applicable for various 3D microscopic techniques, providing a solid criterion for the accessible finest 3D structures.
