Abstract Image denoising, one of the essential inverse problems, targets to remove noise/artifacts from input images. In general, digital image denoising algorithms, executed on computers, present latency due several iterations implemented in, e.g., graphics processing units (GPUs). While deep learning-enabled methods can operate non-iteratively, they also introduce and impose a significant computational burden, leading increased power consumption. Here, we an analog diffractive denoiser...

Free-space optical communication becomes challenging when an occlusion blocks the light path. Here, we demonstrate a direct scheme, passing information around fully opaque, arbitrarily shaped that partially or entirely occludes transmitter's field-of-view. In this electronic neural network encoder and passive, all-optical diffractive network-based decoder are jointly trained using deep learning to transfer of interest opaque arbitrary shape.

Abstract Phase imaging is widely used in biomedical imaging, sensing, and material characterization, among other fields. However, direct of phase objects with subwavelength resolution remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate amplitude based on all-optical diffractive encoding decoding.

Classical phase retrieval problem is the recovery of a constrained image from magnitude its Fourier transform. Although there are several well-known algorithms including hybrid input-output (HIO) method, reconstruction performance generally sensitive to initialization and measurement noise. Recently, deep neural networks (DNNs) have been shown provide state-of-the-art in solving inverse problems such as denoising, deconvolution, superresolution. In this work, we develop algorithm that...
