Dynamic spatial distortions in coherent light beams present a major challenge for stable and high-fidelity optical field shaping, particularly when the target output is a color-resolved pattern. Existing beam shaping techniques, including recent diffractive optical neural networks, are typically limited to monochromatic or grayscale targets and struggle to generalize across temporally varying, multi-distorted inputs. In this work, we propose a diffractive-electronic hybrid neural network tailored for real-time, color light field shaping. To improve spectral generalization, we introduce a wavelength-aware virtual branching (WAVB) mechanism during training, enabling the network to adaptively learn wavelength-specific shaping strategies without modifying the physical design. On the electronic side, we integrate a spectrally conditioned U-shape network, which is structurally adapted to preserve inter-channel dependencies. We implement frequency-selective skip connections (FSSC), allowing the network to emphasize mid- and high-frequency feature restoration while avoiding overcompensation in low-frequency regions. Additionally, we introduce an all-optical-driven optical flow prediction module, enabling frame-to-frame tracking and reverse inference of the beam's evolution, thus enhancing temporal coherence. Our system achieves real-time operation at 50Hz, delivering robust, frame-stable color light field shaping across a range of spatial and temporal distortion scenarios. This work provides a task-specific, scalable framework for intelligent, adaptive imaging systems, with promising applications in dynamic holography, laser-based displays, and computational optical imaging.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
