Abstract

In a digital holographic wrapped phase aberration compensation method based on deep learning, a random Zernike polynomial coefficient and a corresponding wrapped phase map are generated by a computer and are respectively treated as a learning label and a network to train a neural network model. A digital holographic optical setup is built to record a hologram of a sample to be measured, the wrapped phase map is inputted into the trained neural network model after numerical reconstruction, and the Zernike polynomial coefficient is outputted to reconstruct a phase aberration distribution and to compensate complex amplitude in a spatial domain. Phase filtering and unwrapping are performed on the compensated wrapped phase map, and Zernike polynomial fitting based on background segmentation is performed on the unwrapped phase to compensate for residual aberration.
