Abstract

We present a new approach for the reconstruction of two-dimensional images directly from the bispectral phase. Unlike earlier methods, the system requires no information regarding the Fourier modulus, and thus the reference star measurement is unnecessary. We give examples that use experimental binary star data and simulated data of quadruple stars.
