This study introduces a novel, non-iterative method for phase retrieval using Green's functions. This approach simplifies optical measurements by avoiding complex interferometry and iterative calculations.

Area of Science:

  • Optics
  • Wave Propagation
  • Computational Physics

Background:

  • Phase retrieval is crucial for reconstructing optical wavefronts.
  • Existing methods often rely on interferometry or iterative algorithms, which can be complex and time-consuming.
  • The transport-of-intensity equation is a common model for phase retrieval.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a non-interferometric, non-iterative phase retrieval method.
  • To utilize Green's functions for phase reconstruction.
  • To provide a more general framework for phase retrieval algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • The method is based on the parabolic wave equation under the Fresnel approximation.
  • Green's first identity is employed to derive the phase retrieval algorithm.
