Phase-bias-blind computational ghost imaging with optical phased array

We propose a method for computational ghost imaging (CGI) with an optical phased array (OPA), wherein phase biases on the phase shifters are intrinsically unknown. In our method, an object is illuminated with a number of light fields from the OPA using random phase shifts, and the light from the object is captured by a single-pixel detector. The object and the phase biases are simultaneously estimated from the measured intensity signals. We numerically demonstrate the proposed method. Furthermore, we present complex amplitude field acquisition in OPA-based CGI with intensity measurements performed without reference light by simply adding an iris to the detector.
