Abstract
In this study, a focus-tunable liquid cylindrical lens based on electrowetting was designed and fabricated. The cylindrical cavity usually used in common electrowetting zoom spherical lenses was replaced by a 20 mm × 10 mm × 8 mm cuboid cavity, in which the interface of two liquids formed a toroid owing to the electrowetting effect. The proposed liquid cylindrical lens can serve as either a converging or diverging lens with the response time under 110 ms by changing the supplied voltage. The zoom lens we fabricated worked stably under 0-110 V voltage for a long time, guaranteeing that the focal length of the liquid cylindrical lens can range within (-∞, -148.36 mm) ∪ (697.21 mm, +∞). By combining the liquid lens that we designed with a simple fixed cylindrical lens, a cylindrical lens system with an arbitrary focal length suitable for various tasks in beam manipulation can be realized.

Abstract
To reconstruct the wavefront in a single-lens coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) system, we propose a closed-loop cascaded iterative engine (CIE) algorithm based on the known information of the imaging planes. The precision of diffraction distance is an important prerequisite for a perfect reconstruction of samples. For coherent diffraction imaging with a lens, autofocus is investigated to accurately determine the object distance and image distance. For the case of only the object distance being unknown, a diffuser is used to scatter the coherent beam for speckle illumination to improve the performance of autofocus. The optimal object distance is obtained stably and robustly by combing speckle imaging with clarity evaluation functions. SSIM and MSE, using the average pixel value of the reconstructed data set as a reference, are applied on two-unknown-distance autofocus. Simulation and experiment results are presented to prove the feasibility of the CIE and proposed auto-focusing method.

Abstract
Parameters mismatching between the real optical system and phase retrieval model undermines wavefront reconstruction accuracy. The three-dimensional intensity position is corrected in phase retrieval, which is traditionally separated from lateral position correction and axial position correction. In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional intensity position correction method for phase diverse phase retrieval with the cross-iteration nonlinear optimization strategy. The intensity position is optimized via the coarse optimization method at first, then the intensity position is cross-optimized in the iterative wavefront reconstruction process with the exact optimization method. The analytic gradients about the three-dimensional intensity position are derived. The cross-iteration optimization strategy avoids the interference between the incomplete position correction and wavefront reconstruction during the iterative process. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed method are verified both numerically and experimentally. The proposed method achieves robust and accurate intensity position correction and wavefront reconstruction, which is available for wavefront measurement and phase imaging.

Abstract
The non-perfect determined amplitude distribution in the pupil would affect the convergence speed and accuracy of phase retrieval method, which depends on the amplitude of fields to reconstruct the phase. In this paper, we propose two kinds of phase retrieval methods based on hybrid point-polynomial and point-by-point nonlinear optimization algorithms to reconstruct simultaneously the amplitude and phase of the wavefront. Intensity quantized errors are avoided by using modified first derivatives. For simple and general wavefront testing, the accuracy and robustness of proposed algorithms are verified both numerically and experimentally.

Abstract
In a multirotation computation imaging system, the fidelity of the reconstructed result is limited by the accuracy of the estimated rotation angles. Here, an accurate angle detection method using image moment is proposed to estimate angles of diffraction images. The second moment of a digital image is adopted as the rotational inertia in order to estimate angles of diffraction images. Compared with previous versions based on Radon/Hough transform, it has higher accuracy and is simultaneously time-saving, which is verified in both simulation and experiment. The angle error of moment method is narrowed down within 0.1°, or even less, and it also can perform well in sample diversity or when slightly out of focus.

Abstract
High-speed quantitative phase and amplitude imaging methods have led to numerous biological discoveries. For general samples, phase retrieval from a single-diffraction pattern has been an algorithmic and experimental challenge. Here we present a quantitative phase and amplitude imaging method applying an efficient support constraint to yield a rapid algorithmic convergence due to the removal of the twin image and spatial shift ambiguities. Compared to previous complex-valued imaging, our method is lenslet-free and relies neither on assumption based on sample sparsity nor interferometric measurements. Our method provides a robust method for imaging in materials and biological science, while its rapid imaging capability will benefit the investigation of dynamical processes.

OPTICS EXPRESS 2019; 27:2016-2028.

Abstract
Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is a rapidly developing a super-resolution optical microscopy technique. With SIM, the grating is needed in order to rotate several angles for illuminating the sample in different directions. Multiple rotations reduce the imaging speed and grating rotation angle errors damage the image recovery quality. We introduce mirror transformation on one-dimension (1D) Fourier spectrum to SIM for resolving the problems of low imaging speed and severe impact on image reconstruction quality by grating rotation angle errors. When mirror operation and SIM are combined, the grating is placed at an orientation for obtaining three shadow images. The three shadow images are acquired by CCD at three different phase shift for a direction of grating. Thus, the SIM imaging speed is faster and the effect on image reconstruction quality by grating rotation angle errors is greatly reduced.
