Full-angle single-shot quantitative phase imaging based on Kramers-Kronig relations.

ABSTRACT

As a non-interference and non-iterative method, annular-illumination quantitative phase imaging based on Kramers-Kronig relations (AIKK) can realize phase measurement with full-angle resolution enhancement under multiple exposures. In order to completely record the object spectrum with a single shot, we proposed a colorful complementary illumination method in the recording process. The angle of this illumination mode is not symmetrical with each other, so the spectrum between the three channels can complement each other to avoid spectrum loss caused by spectrum conjugation. Meanwhile, the three spectral segments of full-angle information spectrum respectively carried by three wavelengths can be recorded. Additionally, the numerical filter is applied to correct the overlapped spectrum in the reconstruction process. Simulation and experimental results show that this method can achieve high spatiotemporal resolution quantitative phase measurement.
