Abstract Many current microscopy methods incorporate computational modeling as an integral part of the imaging process, either to solve inverse problems or optimize the optical system design itself. These methods often depend on differentiable optics simulations, yet no standardized framework exists, forcing computational optics researchers to repeatedly and independently implement simulations with limited reusability and performance.

Abstract We experimentally generate three-dimensional speckles with customized intensity statistics. By appropriately modulating the phase front of a laser beam, the far-field speckles can maintain a desired intensity probability density function upon axial propagation: while evolving into different spatial patterns. We also demonstrate how to design speckle patterns that obtain distinct tailored intensity statistics on multiple designated axial planes.
