Focus-diverse phase retrieval performance was analyzed by varying spatial frequency and diversity defocus. Optimal diversity values were predicted, and performance limits were identified, consistent with Talbot imaging phenomena.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Wavefront Sensing
  • Phase Retrieval

Background:

  • Wavefront sensing is crucial for optical system aberration correction.
  • Phase retrieval algorithms are essential for reconstructing wavefronts from intensity measurements.
  • Focus diversity provides valuable information for phase retrieval but requires careful optimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess wavefront-sensing performance for focus-diverse phase retrieval.
  • To determine optimal diversity defocus values for aberration spatial frequency recovery.
  • To investigate the impact of varying aberration spatial frequency and diversity defocus on performance.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical predictions for optimal diversity values.
  • Sensitivity analysis of the point-spread function to spatial frequency.

  • Calculation of maximum diversity defocus for optimal performance.
  • Analysis of iterative-transform phase-retrieval algorithm performance.

    • Main Results:

    • Optimal diversity values were predicted for dominant spatial-frequency recovery.
    • Performance consistency with the Cramér-Rao lower bound was demonstrated.
    • A maximum diversity defocus was identified, beyond which performance degrades.
    • Results align with Talbot imaging phenomena, showing periodic contrast variations.

    Conclusions:

    • Focus-diverse phase retrieval performance is highly dependent on aberration spatial frequency and diversity defocus.
    • Understanding these relationships is key to optimizing wavefront-sensing accuracy.
    • The findings provide guidelines for selecting appropriate diversity values in phase retrieval applications.
