Universal Function Approximation via Diffractive Optical Processors: Physical Limits, Error Bounds, and Learnability

Md Sadman Sakib Rahman, Che-Yung Shen, Aydogan Ozcan

We present a unified theoretical framework connecting classical universal approximation theory, Fourier-feature approximation, and diffractive optical processors. We show that phas…

Optical Fourier Surfaces for Free-Space Computer-Generated Holography

Y. M. Glauser, C. -Y. Shen, D. B. Seda +10

Computer-generated holography can shape electromagnetic fields by encoding wavefront information in nanostructured surfaces. However, despite significant progress, hologram designs…

Compressive single-pixel imaging via a wavelength-multiplexed spatially incoherent diffractive optical processor

Xiao Wang, Yiyang Wu, Yuntian Wang +8

Despite offering high sensitivity, a high signal-to-noise ratio, and a broad spectral range, single-pixel imaging (SPI) is limited by low measurement efficiency and long data-acqui…

Interleaved diffractive networks for information transfer through random diffusers

Yuhang Li, Yiyang Wu, Shiqi Chen +2

Transferring optical information through random diffusers is a critical yet challenging task. In this work, we introduce a cascaded diffractive optical network for information tran…
