- Demonstration of a new type of mask design which hardware-encodes the sampling needed for the phase retrieval, thereby offering an extremely robust solution for multimodal imaging of moving object. By removing the need for precise and delicate optical elements positioning, we made possible the application of these phase-contrast imaging techniques in the field of security. This work underpinned grants SBRI Innovative Research Call Explosives&Weapons detection (2016 £59k and 2017 £372k). Building on these results, the incubator Anglo Scientific spun out XPCI Technology Limited which is currently looking into exploiting the option on patent WO/2014/202949 for explosives detection.
