Spectral imaging, the simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy of a radiating scene, is an important diagnostic tool for an expanding range of applications in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, astronomy, and remote sensing. In this thesis, a recently developed computational imaging technique that enables high-resolution spectral imaging is studied both numerically and experimentally. This technique employs a diffractive imaging element called photon sieve, and distributes the image formation taskbetween the photon sieve system and a data-processing unit. In the data-processing unit, the measurements obtained with the photon sieve system are used in an inverse problem framework to reconstruct the spectral images from their superimposed and blurred measurements. Here, we first develop a fast and accurate method to compute the two-dimensional point spread function (PSF) of any diffractive imaging element. Using this method, imaging properties of photon sieves are analyzed under different design scenarios. Secondly, we construct an experimental setup for the photon sieve imaging system, and PSF measurements obtained with this setup are compared with the theoretical calculations. Lastly, the image reconstruction method used to solve the inverse problem is studied and its performance is analyzed numerically for different regularization choices and various potential observing scenarios.

Computational Spectral Imaging with Photon Sieves Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M. (2016-01-01) Spectral imaging, the sensing of spatial information as a function of wavelength, is a widely used diagnostic technique in diverse fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, astronomy, and remote sensing. In this paper, we present a novel computational imaging modality that enables high-resolution spectral imaging by distributing the imaging task between a photon sieve system and a computer. The photon sieve system, coupled with a moving detector, provides measurements from multiple planes. Then ...
Computational spectral imaging techniques using diffractive lenses and compressive sensing Kar, Oğuzhan Fatih; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Spectral imaging is a fundamental diagnostic technique in physical sciences with application in diverse fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, astronomy, and remote sensing. In this thesis, we first present a modified version of a high-resolution computational spectral imaging modality and develop a fast sparse recovery method to solve the associated large-scale inverse problems. This technique uses a diffractive lens called photon sieve for dispersing the optical field. We then extend this t...

Computational Spectral Imaging Techniques for High-Resolution and Instantaneous Observations of the Solar Corona Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M (2014-08-18) Spectral imaging is a fundamental diagnostic technique for the study of the solar coronal plasma, and spectral data is routinely used to measure the temperature, density, and flow velocity in coronal features. However, obtaining the spectra of a multi-dimensional region with inherently two-dimensional detectors poses intrinsic limitations on the spatio-temporal extent of the technique. In particular, slit spectrographs suffer from a limited instantaneous field-of-view (IFOV), and filter-based spectral image...
Parameter estimation for instantaneous spectral imaging Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M (2014-05-04) Spectral imaging is a fundamental diagnostic technique in physical sciences with widespread application. Conventionally, spectral imaging techniques rely on a scanning process, which renders them unsuitable for dynamic scenes. Here we study the problem of estimating the physical parameters of interest from the measurements of a non-scanning spectral imager based on a parametric model. This inverse problem, which can be viewed as a multi-frame deblurring problem, is formulated as a maximum a posteriori (MAP)...
