Arbitrary-order lensless ghost imaging with thermal light

Quantum Physics 2015-05-13 v3

Abstract

Arbitrary Nth-order (N2N\geq2) lensless ghost imaging with thermal light has been performed for the first time by only recording the intensities in two optical paths. It is shown that the image visibility can be dramatically enhanced as the order N increases. It is also found that longer integration times are required for higher-order correlation measurements as N increases, due to the increased fluctuations of higher-order intensity correlation functions.
