Among these, the hybrid input-output algorithm has demonstrated practical solutions to giga-element nonlinear phase retrieval problems, escaping local minima and producing images at resolutions beyond the capabilities of lens-based optical methods. Here, the input-output iteration is improved by a lower dimensional subspace saddle-point optimization.8 pages, 4 figures, revtexOpticsOptimization and ControlPhase retrieval and saddle-point optimizationtext
