This work is concerned with optical imaging in strongly diffusive environments. We consider a typical setting in optical coherence tomography where a sample is probed by a collection of wavefields produced by a laser and propagating through…

In this paper, we show by experiment that by covering a thin flat nonlinear lens on the sources, the sub-diffraction-limit observation can be achieved by measuring either the near-field distribution or the far-field radiation of the sources…

In a previous paper [M. Tsang, Phys. Rev. A 99, 012305 (2019)], I proposed a quantum limit to the estimation of object moments in subdiffraction incoherent optical imaging. In this sequel, I prove the quantum limit rigorously by…

All measurements of continuous signals rely on taking discrete snapshots, with the Nyquist-Shannon theorem dictating sampling paradigms. We present a broader framework of information-optimal measurement, showing that traditional sampling is…

We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach to superresolution optical imaging by combining quantum optics and near-field optics. Our concept involves the utilization of single-photon quantum emitters to generate a…

A novel imaging principle based on the interaction of electromagnetic waves with a beam of relativistic electrons is proposed. Wave-particle interaction is assumed to take place in a small spatial domain, so that each electron is only…

A new method for improving the resolution of astronomical images is presented. It is based on the principle that sampled data cannot be fully deconvolved without violating the sampling theorem. Thus, the sampled image should not be…
