Design Optimization of Binary Phase Pupil Filters

Today, optical imaging technologies are used extensively for a wide range of advanced medical imaging, diagnostics, and therapeutics applications. While current state-of-the-art pupil engineering has examined diverse mask types to enhance these imaging capabilities, binary phase masks (BPMs) have been suggested as the superior filter for achieving enhanced axial and transverse beam properties, offering the best balance between depth-of-focus (DoF) and resolution. In collaboration with the Biomedical Optics and Instrumentation Laboratory at Yonsei University (Korea) and the Structural and Multidisciplinary Systems Design Lab at Queen’s University (Canada), this research will apply topology optimization for binary phase mask design, utilizing the unique expertise offered by both institutes to create novel filter concepts.
