Previous research:

Nonlinear Focal Modulation Microscopy
Physical Review letters 2018 (On the cover)
Guangyuang Zhao*, Cheng Zheng*, Cuifang Kuang, et al
PSF engineering, in combination with non-linear light-matter interaction, can achieve eqaulivent supre-resolving capacity as STED (the one won the 2014 Nobel prize) while requiring much simpler setup and imposing less constraint on the object to image with.
3D Super-resolution via Polarization Modulation
1. 3D point scanning super-resolution microscopy via polarization modulation
      Optics Letters 2018 [Paper] [Code]
      Cheng Zheng, Guangyuan Zhao et al.
2. Three-dimensional super-resolved live cell imaging through polarized multi-angle TIRF
      Optics Letters 2017 [Paper]
      Cheng Zheng, Guangyuan Zhao et al.
Polarization is a lightweight add-on cue to boost the resolution of any super-resolution imaging techniques.
High-speed Quantitative Phase Imaging
1. High spatial and temporal resolution synthetic aperture phase microscopy
      Advanced Photonics 2020 [Paper]
      Cheng Zheng, Di Jin et al.
2. High-speed quantitative phase imaging using a digital micromirror device
      Optics Letters 2017 [Paper]
      Cheng Zheng, Renjie Zhou et al.
DMD is a flexible device with fast light modulation to enable faster speed and better performance in quantitative phase imaging. Besides biomedical imaging, phase imaging are also applied in material metrology with high resolution and sensitivity.
