Path-length diversity methods may be used for adaptive optics (AO) systems to retrieve phase and amplitude information by measuring intensity across multiple planes. Observations that rely on free-space propagation, such as the nonlinear…

The phase problem can be considered as one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics intimately connected to the detection process and the uncertainty relation. The latter impose fundamental limits on the manifold phase reconstruction…
