Speech Title: Advanced imaging tasks using phase-only spatial light modulators | |
Abstract: Phase-only
spatial light modulators (SLMs) positioned in the aperture of optical imaging
systems can extend the missions of these systems. This review briefly describes
the evolution of SLM-aided imaging systems from the well-known Fresnel
incoherent correlation holography recorder to the most recent versions of
interferenceless coded aperture holography systems. | |

Speech Title: Holotomography and artificial intelligence: label-free
3D imaging, classification, and inference of live cells, tissues, and organoids
| |
Abstract:
Holotomography (HT) is a powerful label-free
imaging technique that enables high-resolution, three-dimensional quantitative
phase imaging (QPI) of live cells and organoids through the use of refractive
index (RI) distributions as intrinsic imaging contrast1-3. Similar
to X-ray computed tomography, HT acquires multiple two-dimensional holograms of
a sample at various illumination angles, from which a 3D RI distribution of the
sample is reconstructed by inversely solving the wave equation.
By combining label-free and quantitative 3D imaging
capabilities of HT with machine learning approaches, there is potential to
provide synergistic capabilities in bioimaging and clinical diagnosis. In this
presentation, we will discuss the potential benefits and challenges of
combining QPI and artificial intelligence (AI) for various aspects of imaging
and analysis, including segmentation, classification, and imaging inference3-6.
We will also highlight recent advances in this field and provide insights on future
research directions. Overall, the combination of QPI and AI holds great promise
for advancing biomedical imaging and diagnostics.

Speech Title:
Programming Light Diffraction for Information
Processing and Computational Imaging
| |
Abstract:
I
will discuss the integration of programmable diffraction with digital neural
networks. Diffractive optical networks are designed by deep learning to
all-optically implement various complex functions as the input light diffracts
through spatially engineered surfaces. These diffractive processors integrated
with digital neural networks have various applications, e.g., image analysis,
feature detection, object classification, computational imaging and seeing
through diffusers, also enabling task-specific camera designs and new optical
components for spatial, spectral and temporal beam shaping and
spatially-controlled wavelength division multiplexing. These deep
learning-designed diffractive systems can broadly impact (1) optical
statistical inference engines, (2) computational camera and microscope designs
and (3) inverse design of optical systems that are task-specific. In this talk,
I will give examples of each group, enabling transformative capabilities for
various applications of interest in e.g., autonomous systems, defense/security,
telecommunications as well as biomedical imaging and sensing.
