A unified self-supervised framework for single-frame Fresnel CDI and overlapped ptychography

The paper introduces a self‑supervised neural network that unifies single‑frame Fresnel coherent diffraction imaging (CDI) and overlapped ptychography. By using a fixed, pre‑estimated probe and optimizing with a Poisson negative log‑likelihood objective, the method reconstructs object patches from either a single diffraction frame or multiple overlapping measurements, achieving high SSIM scores and a ten‑fold improvement in photon‑dose efficiency. Demonstrations on synthetic patterns and real datasets from APS and LCLS show robust, high‑throughput reconstructions, with a 36× speedup over iterative solvers for a 10,304‑frame workload.

Learning-Based Reconstruction of Optical Properties in Bilayered Media from Single-distance Time-Resolved Reflectance Measurements

The paper presents a machine‑learning framework for reconstructing absorption and scattering coefficients in bilayered biological media from single‑distance, time‑resolved reflectance data. By training on a synthetic dataset generated with exact Monte Carlo simulations, the method outperforms traditional diffusion‑equation‑based inverse solvers in both speed and accuracy. It also estimates the dimensionality of the parameter space without prior knowledge of the number of layers, and suggests that future work could further improve accuracy using multi‑distance data.
