Here, we reformulate RCWA algorithms step by step for conical diffractions in a global Cartesian coordinate system. By applying some mathematics tricks, it is found that boundary conditions in conical diffractions can be reduced to the same forms as that of planar diffractions.

We also show that the 3D polarimetric properties of the field at the second boundary are sensitive to the changes of the gap width and that the relevant effects occur for the smaller widths when the angle of incidence of the plane wave becomes larger.

Phase unwrapping is a tricky problem from a single wrapped phase pattern in electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) due to the gray unevenness and noise. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) model named UN-PUNet for phase unwrapping from a single wrapped phase pattern with uneven grayscale and noise. UN-PUNet leverages the benefits of a dual-branch encoder structure, a multi-scale feature fusion structure, a convolutional block attention module, and skip connections. Additionally, we have created an abundant dataset for phase unwrapping with varying degrees of unevenness, fringe density, and noise levels. We also propose a mixed loss function MS_SSIM + L2. Employing the proposed dataset and loss function, we can successfully train the UN-PUNet, ultimately realizing effective and robust phase unwrapping from a single uneven and noisy wrapped phase pattern. We evaluate the performance of our method on both simulated and experimental ESPI wrapped phase patterns, comparing it with DLPU, VUR-Net, and PU-M-Net. The unwrapping performance is assessed quantitatively and qualitatively. Furthermore, we conduct ablation experiments to evaluate the impact of different loss functions and the attention module utilized in our method. The results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the compared methods, eliminating the need for pre-processing, post-processing procedures, and parameter fine-tuning. Moreover, our method effectively solves the phase unwrapping problem while preserving the structure and shape, eliminating speckle noise, and addressing uneven grayscale.</p>","PeriodicalId":17382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Optical Society of America A-optics Image Science and Vision","volume":"40 10","pages":"1969-1978"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49678936","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}

An intrinsic limitation of designing extended-depth-of-focus wavefronts is that any smooth surface, with a non-constant mean curvature, unavoidably introduces a separation between caustic sheets, which is proportional to the ratio of change of the mean curvature along a curve embedded in the wavefront. We present a method to obtain extended-depth-of-focus wavefronts where the mean curvature variation ratio is reduced thanks to using a long circle-involute space curve effectively filling the wavefront surface. Additionally, we present a variant of the method in which the wavefront is modified within a small tubular neighborhood of the circle involute in order to partially meet the umbilical condition along that tubular region.
