It has been demonstrated that synthetic dimensions can help to concentrate light with different frequencies at different locations. Here, we show that synthetic dimensions can also route light from different incident directions. Our system consists of an interface formed by two different photonic crystals. A synthetic dimension <i>ξ</i> is introduced by shifting the termination position of the photonic crystal on the right-hand side of the interface. We identify a correspondence between <i>ξ</i> and the interface state such that light incident from a specific direction can be collected. Thus, routing incident light from different directions is achieved by designing an interface with a proper distribution of <i>ξ</i>. Traditionally, this goal is achieved with a standard 4<i>f</i> optical system using a convex lens, and our approach offers the possibility for such a capability within a few lattice sites of photonic crystals. Such an approach reduces the size of the system, making it easier for integration. Our work provides, to our knowledge, a new direction for routing light with different momentums and possibly contributes to applications such as lidar.</p>","PeriodicalId":17382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Optical Society of America A-optics Image Science and Vision","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this setting, it is common to assume that limited information is known about the turbulent medium, such as a space- and time-averaged statistic (e.g., root-mean-square), but without information about the state of the spatial variations. It could be helpful to gain more information if the state of the turbulent medium can be characterized with the spatial variations and evolution in time described. Here, we propose to investigate the use of data assimilation techniques for this purpose. A computational setting is used with the paraxial wave equation, and the extended Kalman filter is used to conduct data assimilation using intensity measurements. To reduce computational cost, the evolution of the turbulent medium is modeled as a stochastic process. Following some past studies, the process has only a small number of Fourier wavelengths for spatial variations. The results show that the spatial and temporal variations of the medium are recovered accurately in many cases. In some time windows in some cases, the error is large for the recovery. Finally, we discuss the potential use of the spatial variation information for aiding the recovery of the transmitted signal or beam source.</p>","PeriodicalId":17382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Optical Society of America A-optics Image Science and Vision","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among the various stagnation artifacts, the twin-image stagnation is the most difficult to address. The upright object and its inverted and complex-conjugated twin correspond to the identical Fourier magnitude data and hence appear simultaneously in the iterative solution. We show that the twin stagnation problem can be eliminated completely if a coherent beam with charge-1 vortex phase is used for illumination. Unlike the usual plane wave illumination case, a charge-1 vortex illumination intentionally introduces an isolated zero near the zero spatial frequency region, where maximal energy in the Fourier space is usually concentrated for most natural objects. The early iterations of iterative phase retrieval algorithms are observed to develop a clockwise or anti-clockwise vortex in the vicinity of this isolated zero. Once the Fourier transform of the solution latches onto a specific vortex profile in the neighborhood of this intentionally introduced intensity zero in early iterations, the solution quickly adjusts to the corresponding twin (upright or inverted) and further iterations are not observed to bring the other twin into the reconstruction. Our simulation studies with the well-known hybrid input-output (HIO) algorithm show that the solution always converges to one of the twins within a few hundred iterations when vortex phase illumination is used. Using a clockwise or anti-clockwise vortex phase as an initial guess is also seen to deterministically lead to a solution consisting of the corresponding twin. The resultant solution still has some faint residual artifacts that can be addressed via the recently introduced complexity guidance methodology. There is an additional vortex phase in the final solution that can simply be subtracted out to obtain the original test object. The near guaranteed convergence to a twin-stagnation-free solution with vortex illumination as described here is potentially valuable for deploying practical imaging systems that work based on the iterative phase retrieval algorithms.</p>","PeriodicalId":17382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Optical Society of America A-optics Image Science and Vision","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
