title: Imaging by integrating stitched spectrograms.
abstract: A new diffractive imaging technique called Imaging By Integrating Stitched Spectrograms (IBISS) is presented. Both the data collection and phase retrieval algorithm used in IBISS are direct extensions of frequency resolved optical gating to higher dimensions. Data collection involves capturing an array of diffraction patterns generated by scanning a sample across a coherent beam of light. Phase retrieval is performed using the Principal Components Generalized Projections Algorithm (PCGPA) by reducing the four dimensional data set of images to two remapped two-dimensional sets. The technique is successfully demonstrated using a Helium Neon laser to image a 350μm wide sample with 12μm resolution.
