Ptychography involves a sample being illuminated by a coherent, localised probe of illumination. When the probe interacts with the sample, the light is diffracted and a diffraction pattern is detected. Then the probe or sample is shifted…

The capture of transient optical waveforms is critical to reveal dynamical phenomena in various fields. However, fast and sensitive mid-infrared (MIR) measurements are typically limited by processing bandwidth and detection sensitivity of…

We show that the protocol recently proposed by Hosten et al. does not allow all possible results of a computation to be obtained counterfactually, as was claimed. It only gives a counterfactual outcome for one of the computer outputs.…

An approach to ghost imaging with a single SPAD array used simultaneously as a several-pixel "bucket" detector and an imaging camera is described. The key points of the approach are filtering data frames used for ghost-image reconstruction…

Nonlinear metasurfaces incorporate many of the functionalities of their linear counterparts such as wavefront shaping but simultaneously they perform nonlinear optical transformations. This dual functionality leads to a rather unintuitive…

Infrared (IR) imaging is invaluable across many scientific disciplines, from material analysis to diagnostic medicine. However, applications are often limited by detector cost, resolution and sensitivity, noise caused by the thermal IR…

Quantum imaging with undetected photons is a recently introduced technique that goes significantly beyond what was previously possible. In this technique, images are formed without detecting the light that interacted with the object that is…

Based on the concept of complementary media, we propose an invisibility cloak operating at a finite frequency that can cloak an object with a pre-specified shape and size within a certain distance outside the shell. The cloak comprises of a…

Quantum imaging with undetected light has recently emerged as a technique in which quantum correlations and nonlinear interferometry are combined to decouple illumination and detection paths. This approach has been more recently extended…

Ghost imaging is a quantum optics technique that uses correlations between two beams to reconstruct an image in one beam from photons that do not interact with the object being imaged. While pairwise (second order) correlations are usually…

Turbulence-free images cannot be produced by conventional computational ghost imaging because calculated light is not affected by the same atmospheric turbulence as real light. In this article, we first addressed this issue by measuring the…

Traditional ghost imaging experiments exploit position correlations between correlated states of light. These correlations occur directly in spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), and in such a scenario, the two-photon state used…

A novel technique for polarization-multiplexing ghost imaging is proposed to simultaneously obtain multiple polarimetric information by a single detector. Here, polarization-division multiplexing speckles are employed for object…

We consider the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging of an object using the light reflected off a diffusive wall. The wall scatters incident light such that a lens is no longer useful to form an image. Instead, we exploit the 4D spatial…
