Fourier Ptychographic Imaging: A Matlab Tutorial (Iop Concise Physics)

This book demonstrates the concept of Fourier ptychography, a new imaging technique that bypasses the resolution limit of the employed optics. In particular, it transforms the general challenge of high-throughput, high-resolution imaging from one that is coupled to the physical limitations of the optics to one that is solvable through computation. Demonstrated in a tutorial form and providing many MATLAB® simulation examples for the reader, it also discusses the experimental implementation and recent developments of Fourier ptychography. This book will be of interest to researchers and engineers learning simulation techniques for Fourier optics and the Fourier ptychography concept.

Dr Guoan Zheng is an Assistant Professor at University of Connecticut, with a joint appointment from the Biomedical Engineering Department and the Electrical Engineering Department. His primary field of expertise lies in microscopy, optical engineering, biophotonics, computational imaging, and lab-on-a-chip devices. His current research interests include Fourier ptychography, high-throughput imaging technologies, superresolution imaging, phase retrieval techniques, and the development of optofluidics and chip-scale imaging solutions. He earned his MSc and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Caltech. He received the $30 000 Lemelson-MIT Caltech Student Prize in 2011 for his development of chip-scale microscopy solutions. He got the Caltech Demetriades Thesis Prize in 2013 for his development of the Fourier ptychography technology. His research has resulted in more than 50 peer-reviewed publications and 15 issued/pending patents, four of which have been extensively reported and highlighted by national media agencies.
