Deep learning for camera data acquisition, control, and image estimation Adv. Opt. Photon. (IF 14.69) Pub Date : 2020-11-24 David J. Brady, Lu Fang, and Zhan Ma
We review the impact of deep-learning technologies on camera architecture. The function of a camera is first to capture visual information and second to form an image. Conventionally, both functions are implemented in physical optics. Throughout the digital age, however, joint design of physical sampling and electronic processing, e.g., computational imaging, has been increasingly applied to improve

Modeling electromagnetic resonators using quasinormal modes Adv. Opt. Photon. (IF 14.69) Pub Date : 2020-08-18 Philip Trøst Kristensen, Kathrin Herrmann, Francesco Intravaia, and Kurt Busch
We present a biorthogonal approach for modeling the response of localized electromagnetic resonators using quasinormal modes, which represent the natural, dissipative eigenmodes of the system with complex frequencies. For many problems of interest in optics and nanophotonics, the quasinormal modes constitute a powerful modeling tool, and the biorthogonal approach provides a coherent, precise, and accessible

Off-axis digital holographic multiplexing for rapid wavefront acquisition and processing Adv. Opt. Photon. (IF 14.69) Pub Date : 2020-08-10 Natan T. Shaked, Vicente Micó, Maciej Trusiak, Arkadiusz Kuś, and Simcha K. Mirsky
Off-axis holographic multiplexing involves capturing several complex wavefronts, each encoded into off-axis holograms with different interference fringe orientations, simultaneously, with a single camera acquisition. Thus, the multiplexed off-axis hologram can capture several wavefronts at once, where each one encodes different information from the sample, using the same number of pixels typically

Fiber-based phase-sensitive optical amplifiers and their applications Adv. Opt. Photon. (IF 14.69) Pub Date : 2020-04-30 Peter A. Andrekson and Magnus Karlsson
Optical parametric amplifiers rely on second-order susceptibility (three-wave mixing) or third-order susceptibility (four-wave mixing) in a nonlinear process where the energy of incoming photons is not changed (elastic scattering). In the latter case, two pump photons are converted to a signal and to an idler photon. Under certain conditions, related to the phase evolution of the waves involved, this

The nature of light, extending from the optical to the x-ray regime, is reviewed from a diffraction point of view by comparing field-based statistical optics and photon-based quantum optics approaches. The topic is introduced by comparing historical diffraction concepts based on wave interference, Dirac’s notion of photon self-interference, Feynman’s interference of space–time photon probability amplitudes

A tomographic measurement is a ubiquitous tool for estimating the properties of quantum states, and its application is known as quantum state tomography (QST). The process involves manipulating single photons in a sequence of projective measurements, often to construct a density matrix from which other information can be inferred, and is as laborious as it is complex. Here we unravel the steps of a

Self-interference holography is a common technique to record holograms of incoherently illuminated scenes. In this review, we survey the main milestones in the topic of self-interference incoherent digital holography from two main points of view. First, we review the prime architectures of optical hologram recorders over more than 50 years. Second, we discuss some of the key applications of these recorders

We review recent developments in directly modulated lasers (DMLs) with low operating energy for datacom and computercom applications. Key issues are their operating energy and the cost for employing them in these applications. To decrease the operating energy, it is important to reduce the active volume of the laser while maintaining the cavity Q-factor or photon lifetime in the cavity. Therefore,
