Photon sieves, modifications of Fresnel zone plates, are a new class of diffractive image forming devices that open up new possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at UV and x-ray regime. In this paper, we develop a novel computational photon sieve imaging modality that enables high-resolution spectral imaging. For the spatially incoherent illumination, we study the problem of recovering the individual spectral images from the superimposed and blurred measurements of the proposed photon sieve system. This inverse problem, which can be viewed as a multi frame deconvolution problem involving multiple objects, is formulated as a maximum posterior estimation problem, and solved using a fixed-point algorithm. The performance of the proposed technique is illustrated for EUV spectral imaging through numerical simulations. The results suggest that higher spatial and spectral resolution can be achieved as compared to conventional spectral imagers.

Efficient computation of 2D point-spread functions for diffractive lenses
Ayazgok, Suleyman; Öktem, Sevinç Figen (The Optical Society, 2020-01-10)
Diffractive lenses, such as Fresnel zone plates, photon sieves, and their modified versions, have been of significant recent interest in high-resolution imaging applications. As the advent of diffractive lens systems with different configurations expands, the fast and accurate simulation of these systems becomes crucial for both the design and image reconstruction tasks. Here we present a fast and accurate method for computing the 2D point-spread function (PSF) of an arbitrary diffractive lens. The method i...
Direct Reconstruction of Pharmacokinetic-Rate Images of Optical Fluorophores From NIR Measurements
Alacam, Burak; Yazici, Birsen (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-09-01)
In this paper, we present a new method to form pharmacokinetic-rate images of optical fluorophores directly from near infra-red (NIR) boundary measurements. We first derive a mapping from spatially resolved pharmacokinetic rates to NIR boundary measurements by combining compartmental modeling with a diffusion based NIR photon propagation model. We express this mapping as a state-space equation. Next, we introduce a spatio-temporal prior model for the pharmacokinetic-rate images and combine it with the state...
Automatic segmentation of cristae membranes in 3d electron microscopy tomography images using artificial neural networks
Karadeniz, Merih Alphan; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Medical Informatics (2016)
Electron Microscopy Tomography (EMT) technique produces 3D images of cells comprising hundreds of slices of high resolution frames. Segmentation of membranes in these images are necessary in order to reveal the relations between the structural components of the cell and its behaviour. The physical shape of the crista which is a membrane of the mitochondria has been hypostatized for being an early indicator for many diseases or mitochondrial dysfunctions. Automatic segmentation of cristae in EMT images are n...
Forward problem solution of electromagnetic source imaging using a new BEM formulation with high-order elements
Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 1999-09-01)
Representations of the active cell populations on the cortical surface via electric and magnetic measurements are known as electromagnetic source images (EMSIs) of the human brain. Numerical solution of the potential and magnetic fields for a given electrical source distribution in the human brain is an essential part of electromagnetic source imaging. In this study, the performance of the boundary element method (BEM) is explored with different surface element types. A new BEM formulation is derived that m...
Analytical Fresnel imaging models for photon sieves
Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Davila, Joseph M. (The Optical Society, 2018-11-21)
Photon sieves are a fairly new class of diffractive lenses that open unprecedented possibilities for high resolution imaging and spectroscopy, especially at short wavelengths such as UV and x-rays. In this paper, we model and analyze the image formation process of photon sieves using Fourier optics. We derive closed-form Fresnel imaging models that relate an input object to the image formed by a photon sieve system, both for coherent and incoherent illumination. These analytical models also provide a closed...
