Description
Summary:We propose simultaneous measurement and reconstruction tailoring (SMaRT) for quantitative phase imaging; it is a joint optimization approach to inverse problems wherein minimizing the expected end-to-end error yields optimal design parameters for both the measurement and reconstruction processes. Using simulated and experimentally-collected data for a specific scenario, we demonstrate that optimizing the design of the two processes together reduces phase reconstruction error over past techniques that consider these two design problems separately. Our results suggest at times surprising design principles, and our approach can potentially inspire improved solution methods for other inverse problems in optics as well as the natural sciences.
