Predicting nonlinear optical scattering with physics-driven neural networks

Demetri Psaltis, Carlo Gigli, Ahmed Ayoub

Deep neural networks trained on physical losses are emerging as promising surrogates for nonlinear numerical solvers. These tools can predict solutions to Maxwell's equations and compute gradients of output fields with respect to the material and geometric ...

Physics-informed neural networks for diffraction tomography

Demetri Psaltis, Carlo Gigli, Amirhossein Saba Shirvan, Ahmed Ayoub

We propose a physics-informed neural network (PINN) as the forward model for tomographic reconstructions of biological samples. We demonstrate that by training this network with the Helmholtz equation as a physical loss, we can predict the scattered field ...

Optical Diffraction Tomography Using Nearly In-Line Holography with a Broadband LED Source

Demetri Psaltis, Abhijit Roy, Ahmed Ayoub

We present optical tomography methods for a 3D refractive index reconstruction of weakly scattering objects using LED light sources. We are able to record holograms by minimizing the optical path difference between the signal and reference beams while sepa ...

High speed, complex wavefront shaping using the digital micro-mirror device

Demetri Psaltis, Ahmed Ayoub

Digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs) have been deployed in many optical applications. As compared to spatial light modulators (SLMs), they are characterized by their much faster refresh rates (full-frame refresh rates up to 32 kHz for binary patterns) compa ...

Polarization-sensitive optics diffraction tomography

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim, Elizabeth Elena Antoine, Amirhossein Saba Shirvan, Ahmed Ayoub

Polarization of light has been widely used as a contrast mechanism in two-dimensional (2D) microscopy and also in some three-dimensional (3D) imaging modalities. In this paper, we report the 3D tomographic reconstruction of the refractive index (RI) tensor ...

3D reconstruction of weakly scattering objects from 2D intensity-only measurements using the Wolf transform

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim, Elizabeth Elena Antoine, Ahmed Ayoub

A new approach to optical diffraction tomography (ODT) based on intensity measurements is presented. By applying the Wolf transform directly to intensity measurements, we observed unexpected behavior in the 3D reconstruction of the sample. Such a reconstru ...

Three-dimensional tomography of red blood cells using deep learning

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim, Ahmed Ayoub

We accurately reconstruct three-dimensional (3-D) refractive index (RI) distributions from highly ill-posed two-dimensional (2-D) measurements using a deep neural network (DNN). Strong distortions are introduced on reconstructions obtained by the Wolf tran ...

Adaptive Regularization For Three-Dimensional Optical Diffraction Tomography

Michaël Unser, Demetri Psaltis, Thanh-An Michel Pham, Emmanuel Emilien Louis Soubies, Ahmed Ayoub, Ahmed Bassam Sayed Ayoub Mohamed Emam

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) allows one to quantitatively measure the distribution of the refractive index of the sample. It relies on the resolution of an inverse scattering problem. Due to the limited range of views as well as optical aberrations ...

Three-Dimensional Optical Diffraction Tomography With Lippmann-Schwinger Model

Michaël Unser, Demetri Psaltis, Thanh-An Michel Pham, Emmanuel Emilien Louis Soubies, Joowon Lim, Ahmed Ayoub, Ahmed Bassam Sayed Ayoub Mohamed Emam

A broad class of imaging modalities involve the resolution of an inverse-scattering problem. Among them, three-dimensional optical diffraction tomography (ODT) comes with its own challenges. These include a limited range of views, a large size of the sampl ...
