Lens vs Algorithm: Optical Imaging In The Age Of Computers
Optical elements may be thought of as effecting a linear transformation of the optical field. Given access to the field, those same transformations, and many more, may be performed with a computer and so hardware may be replaced with software. I will mainly discuss the application of this idea in optical coherence tomography (OCT) where we have replaced complicated hardware with physics-based algorithms to produce a high-resolution 3-d imaging system with infinite depth of field in a compact form factor. I will give examples of the method in use in biological systems and results from a recent clinical trial in breast cancer.
