TL;DR

A digital method for solving the phase-retrieval problem of optical-coherence theory: the reconstruction of a general object from the modulus of its Fourier transform, which should be useful for obtaining high-resolution imagery from interferometer data.

Abstract

We present a digital method for solving the phase-retrieval problem of optical-coherence theory: the reconstruction of a general object from the modulus of its Fourier transform. This technique should be useful for obtaining high-resolution imagery from interferometer data.
