This article introduces an optical microscopy technique for the characterization of two-
dimensional (2D) materials. The technique is based on the use of quadriwave lateral …

Quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry (QLSI) is a quantitative phase imaging technique
based on the use of a diffraction grating placed in front of a camera. This grating creates a …

Holography has paved the way for phase imaging in a variety of wide-field techniques,
including electron, X-ray and optical microscopy. In scanning optical microscopy, however …

Common cameras are only sensitive to the intensity of light, discarding an essential feature
of a light wave: its phase profile or, equivalently, its wavefront profile. This Review focuses …

Phase-shifting interferometric imaging is shown to be a powerful analytical tool for studying
graphene films, providing quantitative analysis of large area samples with an optical …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted great attention because of their
unique physical properties and versatile applications in electronics and photonics. Following …

Spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) is a novel method developed in our laboratory
that provides quantitative phase images of transparent structures with a 0.3 nm spatial and …

Optical inspection is a rapid and non‐destructive method for characterizing the properties of
two‐dimensional (2D) materials. With the aid of optical inspection, in situ and scalable …

We demonstrate an optical technique for large field of view quantitative phase imaging of
reflective samples. It relies on a common-path interferometric design, which ensures high …

Deconvolution phase microscopy enables high-contrast visualization of transparent samples
through reconstructions of their transmitted phases or refractive indexes. Herein, we propose …
