The '''Gerchberg–Saxton (GS) algorithm''' is an iterative [[phase retrieval]] [[algorithm]] for retrieving the phase of a complex-valued wavefront from two intensity measurements acquired in two different planes.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gerchberg|first=R. W.|last2=Saxton|first2=W. O.|date=1972|title=A practical algorithm for the determination of the phase from image and diffraction plane pictures|url=http://www.u.arizona.edu/~ppoon/GerchbergandSaxton1972.pdf|journal=Optik|language=EN|volume=35|pages=237–246}}</ref> Typically, the two planes are the image plane and the far field (diffraction) plane, and the wavefront propagation between these two planes is given by the [[Fourier transform]]. The original paper by Gerchberg and Saxton considered image and diffraction pattern of a sample acquired in an electron microscope.
