Paper Abstract

We provide a quantitative model for image formation in common-path QPI systems under partially coherent illumination. Our model is capable of explaining the phase reduction phenomenon and halo effect in phase measurements. We further show how to fix these phenomena with a novel iterative post-processing algorithm. Halo-free and correct phase images of nanopillars and live cells are used to demonstrate the validity of our method.
