Scanning diffraction imaging without stable illumination and scan position information
Ptychography has become prominent at synchrotron facilities worldwide for characterizing biological and material specimens' topological structures and properties at the nanometer or atomic scale, due to its lens - less, highly quantitative phase imaging. Its high - resolution imaging depends on accurate lateral scan position info, a large overlap ratio, and a stable probe function. But as research moves to atomic scales, meeting these requirements gets harder, often needing high - precision motion control and manual pre - calibration. This paper presents a new imaging framework. By adding a wavefront modulator and a new phase retrieval workflow, it removes the strict requirements of traditional ptychography. Significantly, our method doesn't need pre - calibration of the wavefront modulator. Optical validation showed the deviation between the recovered position and a top - tier motion stage was less than 10 nm. Sub - pixel position accuracy was achievable even with a 13% overlap ratio. In an X - ray experiment with a spatially unstable probe violating the ptychographic model and an 18% overlap ratio, our method simultaneously and quantitatively retrieved beam spatial deviation, scan position, probe function, and sample transmission function. Notably, it measured probe spatial deviations of 500nm along the X - axis and 50nm along the Y - axis, which is not feasible by previous methods. With these experimentally proven advantages, we anticipate our method to be a powerful imaging tool with auto - quantitative calibration of various parameters. It will simplify scanning diffraction microscopy implementation and expand its application scope, especially in nanometer and atomic scale imaging.

Diffraction Line Imaging
We present a novel computational imaging principle that combines diffractive optics with line (1D) sensing. When light passes through a diffraction grating, it disperses as a function of wavelength. We exploit this princ…
Imaging with SPADs and DMDs: Seeing through Diffraction-Photons
This paper addresses the problem of imaging in the presence of diffraction-photons. Diffraction-photons arise from the low contrast ratio of DMDs ($\sim\,1000:1$), and very much degrade the quality of images captured by …
Axially-shifted pattern illumination for macroscale turbidity suppression and virtual volumetric confocal imaging without axial scanning
Structured illumination has been widely used for optical sectioning and 3D surface recovery. In a typical implementation, multiple images under non-uniform pattern illumination are used to recover a single object section…
