Experimental validation of Fourier-transform wave-front reconstruction at the Palomar Observatory

Wave-front reconstruction with use of the Fourier transform has been validated through theory and simulation. This method provides a dramatic reduction in computational costs for large adaptive (AO) systems. Because such a reconstructor can be expressed as a matrix, it can be used as an alternative in a matrix-based AO control system. This was done with the Palomar Observatory AO system on the 200-in. Hale telescope. Results of these tests indicate that Fourier-transform wave-front reconstruction works in a real system. For both bright and dim stars, a Hudgin-geometry Fourier-transform method produced performance comparable to that of the Palomar Adaptive Optics least squares. The Fried-geometry method had a noticeable Strehl ratio performance degradation of 0.043 in the K band (165-nm rms wave-front error added in quadrature) on a dim star.     

Image reconstruction from a dielectric volume hologram

The phenomenon of image reconstruction from an absorptionless volume hologram is analyzed using coupled-wave diffraction theory. Reconstruction efficiency formulas are derived, which apply when the hologram intermodulation component is negligible and when no extraneous diffracted orders of significant amplitude are generated. Both transmission and reflection holograms are considered, and the analysis is developed for diffraction geometries in which polarization effects are appreciable.     

Image reconstruction from few views by l_0-norm optimization

In the medical computer tomography(CT) field, total variation(TV), which is the ?1-norm of the discrete gradient transform(DGT), is widely used as regularization based on the compressive sensing(CS) theory. To overcome the TV model’s disadvantageous tendency of uniformly penalizing the image gradient and over smoothing the low-contrast structures, an iterative algorithm based on the ?0-norm optimization of the DGT is proposed. In order to rise to the challenges introduced by the ?0-norm DGT, the algorithm uses a pseudo-inverse transform of DGT and adapts an iterative hard thresholding(IHT) algorithm, whose convergence and effective efficiency have been theoretically proven. The simulation demonstrates our conclusions and indicates that the algorithm proposed in this paper can obviously improve the reconstruction quality.

Image reconstruction in segmented waveguide arrays

A simple design of spatially finite one-dimensional and bidimensional waveguide arrays, showing self-imaging properties, is proposed. Image reconstruction insensitive to array truncation is achieved by the introduction of short waveguide interruptions (waveguide segmentation), which act as a focusing lens for discretized light.     

Image reconstruction of sequentially sampled echo-planar data

For echo-planar imaging (EPI), failure to time-reverse alternate echoes results in aliasing in the image. We encountered image artifacts in EPI acquired on a system with sequential sampling. After examining the source of these image artifacts, we concluded that the artifacts were a result of the type of sampling method used in data acquisition and the way the time-reversal of alternate echoes was carried out prior to Fourier transformation. Two methods are demonstrated to obtain artifact-free EPI with sequential data sampling.
