Abstract
The relationship between the object-plane phase and the intensity distribution in the Fresnel region can be described by the transport of intensity equation (TIE). The phase distribution can thus be uniquely determined by solving TIE. In this study, a full multigrid preconditioned conjugate gradient (FMG–CG) method is proposed to numerically solve the TIE for phase retrieval. The full multigrid method is a scalable algorithm, and can be parallelized readily and efficiently. By using this method as a preconditioner of the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method, fast convergence is obtained. The simulation experiments show that complicated phase distributions with fast convergence speed can be retrieved by this composite method.
