    New quadrature detection methods using Mach-Zehnder interferometry capture both real and imaginary parts of diffracted fields. This allows for direct complex amplitude reconstruction, simplifying the imaging of microscopic objects.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Microscopy
    • Diffraction Imaging

    Background:

    • Phase retrieval is a complex process often required for reconstructing images from diffraction data.
    • Mach-Zehnder interferometry is a versatile tool for optical measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel quadrature detection technique for simultaneous acquisition of real and imaginary diffracted fields.
    • To eliminate the need for traditional phase retrieval algorithms in diffraction imaging.
    • To demonstrate the reconstruction of microscopic objects using complex diffraction patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of quadrature detection techniques to images from a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
    • Utilizing differently polarized beams to isolate real and imaginary components of the diffracted signal.
