A modular GUI-based program for genetic algorithm-based feedback-assisted wavefront shaping

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We have developed a modular graphical user interface (GUI)-based program for use in genetic algorithm-based feedback-assisted wavefront shaping. The program uses a class-based structure to separate out the universal modules (e.g. GUI, multithreading, optimization algorithms) and hardware-specific modules (e.g. code for different SLMs and cameras). This modular design makes the program easily adaptable to a wide range of lab equipment, while providing easy access to a GUI, multithreading, and three optimization algorithms (phase-stepping, simple genetic, and microgenetic).
