The manifestation of the wave nature of light through diffraction imposes limits on the resolution of optical imaging. For over a century, the Abbe-Rayleigh criterion has been utilized to assess the spatial resolution limits of optical…

Essentially, the idea of improving the resolution of a given imaging system is to enhance its information capacity represented usually by the temporal-bandwidth (or, spatial-spectrum) product. This letter introduces the concept of…
