In this paper we study the property of phase retrievability by redundant sysems of vectors under perturbations of the frame set. Specifically we show that if a set $\fc$ of $m$ vectors in the complex Hilbert space of dimension n allows for…
The problem of phase retrieval is to determine a signal $f\in \mathcal{H}$, with $\mathcal{H}$ a Hilbert space, from intensity measurements $|F(\omega)|$, where $F(\omega):=\langle f , \varphi_\omega\rangle$ are measurements of $f$ with…
One of the most powerful approaches to imaging at the nanometer or subnanometer length scale is coherent diffraction imaging using X-ray sources. For amorphous (non-crystalline) samples, the raw data can be interpreted as the modulus of the…
We study phase retrieval from magnitude measurements of an unknown signal as an algebraic estimation problem. Indeed, phase retrieval from rank-one and more general linear measurements can be treated in an algebraic way. It is verified that…

While characterization of coherent wavefields is essential to laser, x-ray and electron imaging, sensors measure the squared magnitude of the field, rather than the field itself. Holography or phase retrieval must be used to characterize…

The problem of phase retrieval is a classic one in optics and arises when one is interested in recovering an unknown signal from the magnitude (intensity) of its Fourier transform. While there have existed quite a few approaches to phase…
We consider the problem of recovering a complex vector $\mathbf{x}\in \mathbb{C}^n$ from $m$ quadratic measurements $\{\langle A_i\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{x}\rangle\}_{i=1}^m$. This problem, known as quadratic feasibility, encompasses the well…
Suppose we wish to recover a signal x in C^n from m intensity measurements of the form |<x,z_i>|^2, i = 1, 2,..., m; that is, from data in which phase information is missing. We prove that if the vectors z_i are sampled independently and…
This paper aims to characterize the optimal frame for phase retrieval, defined as the frame whose condition number for phase retrieval attains its minimal value. In the context of the two-dimensional real case, we reveal the connection…
Fraunhofer diffraction is a well-known phenomenon achieved with most wavelength even without lens. A single-shot intensity measurement of diffraction is generally considered inadequate to reconstruct the original light field, because the…
This paper deals with sparse phase retrieval, i.e., the problem of estimating a vector from quadratic measurements under the assumption that few components are nonzero. In particular, we consider the problem of finding the sparsest vector…
We propose a robust and efficient approach to the problem of compressive phase retrieval in which the goal is to reconstruct a sparse vector from the magnitude of a number of its linear measurements. The proposed framework relies on…
Phase retrieval is in general a non-convex and non-linear task and the corresponding algorithms struggle with the issue of local minima. We consider the case where the measurement samples within typically very small and disconnected subsets…
