Abstract
Radon transform is a fundamental mathematical operation in tomography, and its conventional implementation usually relies on digital computation or bulky optical systems. Metasurface provides a new route for compact optical Radon transform. However, existing approaches based on metasurface remain largely limited to amplitude-only imaging and dense projection sampling. In this Letter, we propose an optical Radon transform system for complex-amplitude imaging, in which a wavelet-guided diffusion transformer is further employed to simultaneously recover amplitude and phase information. We also investigate sparse-view sampling to reduce the number of projection measurements and evaluate the robustness of the proposed framework under challenging projection conditions. Our work extends optical Radon imaging from single-channel to multi-channel imaging while reducing the complexity of data acquisition.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
