contents We show that a bounded temporal increment prior on the sample dynamics is sufficient to reconstruct a time-varying phase object from a near-field diffraction movie, under the thin-film approximation. The time evolution of the field is parameterized by a multiplicative inter-frame update factor, and a bound on its complex-plane support enforces a bounded phase increment and a passive amplitude constraint. Reconstruction of the dynamic field is thereby converted into a feasibility problem with two projection operators: a measurement-domain modulus projection and an object-domain circular-sector projection. We validate the approach experimentally using a spatial light modulator as a calibrated dynamic sample in two cases: a reaction--diffusion phase pattern with spatially expanding extent, and a growing phase pattern whose accumulated phase reaches $10π$. In both cases the reconstructed phase trajectory agrees well with the ground truth. We then apply the same framework, without modification, to in-situ monitoring of a photo-polymer 3D printing process, recovering the spatiotemporal phase induced by polymerization under a spatially patterned blue light. The reconstructed phase trajectory provides an observable for photo-chemical system identification and process control.
