In order to calculate the lost phase from the intensity information effectively, a new method of phase retrieval which based on cosine grating modulation and transport of intensity equation is proposed. Firstly, the cosine grating is loaded on the spatial light modulator in the horizontal and vertical direction respectively, and the corresponding amplitude of the light field is modulated. Then the phase is calculated by its gradient which is extracted from different direction modulation light illumination. The capability of phase recovery of the proposed method in the presence of noise is tested by simulation experiments. And the results show that the proposed algorithm has a better resilience than the traditional Fourier transform algorithm at low frequency noise. Furthermore, the phase object of different scales can be retrieved using the proposed algorithm effectively by changing the frequency of cosine grating, which can control the imaging motion expediently.
The phase carries details of the depth information about an optical wave field and is very important in many applications, such as optical field reconstruction and 3D display. However, optical waves oscillate too fast for detectors to record the intensity and phase directly and simultaneously. The phase retrieval technology or algorithm has been the focus of enormous research recently. Among the valuable algorithms transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) and angular-spectrum- iteration (ASI) are widely used in various fields such as electron microscopy and x-ray imaging. Unfortunately, the former one is originally derived for a coherent illumination and can not be directly applied to the phase retrieval of partially coherent light field when not been uniformly lit. While the ASI deducted from wave propagating with wave vector has itself shortcomings due to iterative uncertainty and slow convergence. In this paper, a novel hybrid phase retrieval algorithm extended TIE for partially coherent light illuminations is investigated in both case of uniformly and non-uniformly lit. This algorithm consists of multi-plane ASI to utilize the physical constraints between the object domain and the spectral domain, and the relationship between the intensity and phase among the wave propagation. The phase at the center image plane is calculated from three intensity images. Then this result is treated as the initial value of the multi-plane ASI. Finally, the phase information at the object plane is acquired according the reversibility of the optical path. This hybrid algorithm expands the application of tradition TIE while improving the convergence rate of ASI method.
