At the same time it has been shown that for partially coherent systems this is not, in general, possible because different wavefields can exhibit identical intensity distributions [3]. The more restricted problem of finding the complex wave-field corresponding to the three dimensional intensity in a coherent system may be soluble by iterative phase retrieval techniques, but is not directly soluble. We consider a particular subset of the general problem which is demonstrably soluble by a direct method. The particular subset considered is essentially an optical wavefield propagating in a plane. This reduces the problem from three to two dimensions, resulting in a well-posed inverse problem. Initially we assume the system to be coherent, but we note that there are indications that the partially coherent case is also soluble. The solution presented is not just a theoretical curiosity because systems with the required geometry occur in slab waveguides and slit illumination systems.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128183112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In FROG a nonlinear autocorrelation signal is frequency-resolved by a spectrometer to produce a \"FROG trace\", which is a type of spectrogram of the pulse [1]. The FROG trace, a two-dimensional image (intensity vs. frequency and delay) is then input into a phase-retrieval-based iterative algorithm [2], that determines the intensity and phase of the laser pulse. Although the FROG algorithm performs well, it requires a minute or more to converge for complex pulse shapes. It is therefore desirable in many situations to have a direct (i.e., non-iterative) computational method capable of quickly inverting the highly non-linear and complex function that relates the ultrashort pulse intensity and phase to its experimental FROG trace. In this work, we show that computational neural networks can directly obtain the intensity and phase of a pulse from its FROG trace in less than one second, independent of the pulse shape. Our demonstration using a serial personal computer is a proof of this principle, utilizing a set of pulses defined by only five parameters. Because neural networks now take advantage of very simple, fast, and powerful parallel-processing hardware, however, future waveform recovery, even in the general case of arbitrary pulses, could be nearly instantaneous.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115710110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this case a priori information in the form of constraints can be applied and advantage can be taken of the inherently two-dimensional nature of the problem in order to reconstruct the full complex field from the available information. A similar recovery problem also arises with temporally varying data. One such case is the measurement of the complete time-dependent intensity and phase of an ultrashort laser pulse. This problem is particularly difficult for two reasons. First, it is inherently one-dimensional, so phase-retrieval methods, so successful for the spatial problem, do not directly apply. Second, such pulses are shorter than all possible measuring devices, so even the intensity cannot be measured. Traditionally, optical scientists working with ultrashort laser pulses have had only partial diagnostics, typically the intensity autocorrelation and the spectral intensity of the pulse. These diagnostics are not enough to completely characterize the laser pulse.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114927224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

De Pierro, Clarice Favaretto Salvador","doi":"10.1364/srs.1998.stuc.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1364/srs.1998.stuc.4","url":null,"abstract":"This work is concerned with the Phase Retrieval (PR) problem [3]. In its general formulation, the PR problem consists of retrieving the Fourier phase for a signal f whose Fourier transform F is known only in magnitude. In the applications, some additional information on f is available, e.g. the magnitude |f|. We shall be interested in the 2-D case where the additional information is the nonnegativity of f and the autocorrelation support. Iterative algorithms are commonly used to solve this problem [4]. Whereas these algorithms are the most successful in the applications, they do not enjoy ensured convergence, and often do not converge to a solution. Quite often they wind up either oscillating between two non-solutions, or converging very slowly towards a non- solution. In [2] a geometric characterization of the solution set is presented as well as experimental results suggesting an automatic way to avoid stagnation in the context of the retrieval algorithms mentioned above. For concreteness, let us consider the Error Reduction (ER) method. We observe that oscillations for the ER always occur between one fixed toroid [2] and the nonnegative orthant. The point x′ of stagnation on the toroid is external to the (convex) orthant. It is reasonable, as a means to avoid stagnation, to move from x′ to the point x” on the toroid which is “antipodal” to x′, thereby (roughly speaking) overrelaxing the operation of (convex) projection onto the orthant. More precisely, let c be the center of the toroid in question. It has been observed before [2] that c is in the positive orthant. We set x” = 2c − x′. We then use x” as an initial value for the ER algorithm. To summarize, we propose the following method : suppose that the algorithm stagnated in an image g\u0000 k\u0000 , that has a projection \u0000g\u0000 k\u0000 ′ onto the toroids set; then we get a new initial estimate for the algorithm by setting \u0000g\u0000 o\u0000 =−g\u0000 k\u0000 ′+2c with c representing the center of the toroid. This new starting point automatically satisfies the Fourier magnitude constraints, but not necessarily the positivity constraint, unless it happens to be a solution. In principle, the new initial point may lead to a renewed stagnation. However, in practice the phase retrieval improves considerably from one stagnation to another, leading to a good approximate solution. We have performed numerous experiments, using the ER algorithm with this stagnation breaker, and in all the cases it was not necessary to repeat the stagnation breaker more than twice per example. One advantage of the suggested method is that it is automatic, i.e. there is no need to identify on-line the stagnation type. A typical experiment using our new method is shown below. Two overrelaxations were necessary in this case, in order to obtain an acceptable approximation to the solution. The starting image that begins the process was taken random. Figure 1 is the image to be retrieved, Figure 2, the result after 100 iterations of ER.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125193746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
