Sub-Millisecond Phase Retrieval for Phase-Diversity Wavefront Sensor

摘要

We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based method, namely phase diversity convolutional neural network (PD-CNN) for the speed acceleration of phase-diversity wavefront sensing. The PD-CNN has achieved a state-of-the-art result, with the inference speed about 0.5 ms, while fusing the information of the focal and defocused intensity images. When compared to the traditional phase diversity (PD) algorithms, the PD-CNN is a light-weight model without complicated iterative transformation and optimization process. Experiments have been done to demonstrate the accuracy and speed of the proposed approach.
