Abstract

A hybrid imaging system is a simultaneous physical arrangement of a refractive lens and a multilevel phase mask (MPM) as a diffractive optical element (DOE). The favorable properties of the hybrid setup are improved extended-depth-of-field (EDoF) imaging and low chromatic aberrations. We built a fully differentiable image formation model in order to use neural network techniques to optimize imaging. At the first stage, the design framework relies on the model-based approach with numerical simulation and end-to-end joint optimization of both MPM and imaging algorithms. In the second stage, MPM is fixed as found at the first stage, and the image processing is optimized experimentally using the CNN learning-based approach with MPM implemented by a spatial light modulator. The paper is concentrated on a comparative analysis of imaging accuracy and quality for design with various basic optical parameters: aperture size, lens focal length, and distance between MPM and sensor. We point out that the varying aperture size, lens focal length, and distance between MPM and sensor are for the first time considered for end-to-end optimization of EDoF. We numerically and experimentally compare the designs for visible wavelength interval [400-700]~nm and the following EDoF ranges: [0.5-100]~m for simulations and [0.5-1.9]~m for experimental tests. This study concerns an application of hybrid optics for compact cameras with aperture [5-9] mm and distance between MPM and sensor [3-10] mm.
