AbstractOptical phase gives rise to the most fundamental and defining features of light. Light waves interfere constructively or destructively with each other, depending on their relative phase relation. Based on interferometry, precise detections of optical phase have enabled transformative discoveries and technologies including the observation of gravitational waves, biomedical pathology diagnosis, coherent optical communications, imaging, and computer vision. Hence, leveraging the advanced photonic t
