Diffraction limit is manifested in the loss of high spatial frequency information that results from decay of evanescent waves. As a result, conventional far-field optics yields no information about an object's subwavelength features. Here…

It is thought that schemes for quantum imaging are fragile against realistic environments in which the background noise is often stronger than the nonclassical signal of the imaging photons. Unfortunately, it is unfeasible to produce…

This paper addresses the problem of imaging in the presence of diffraction-photons. Diffraction-photons arise from the low contrast ratio of DMDs ($\sim\,1000:1$), and very much degrade the quality of images captured by SPAD-based systems.…

Spectroscopy and imaging in the mid-infrared (2.5 $\mu$m $\sim$ $\lambda$ $\sim$ 25 $\mu$m) is bedevilled by the presence of a strong 300 K thermal background at room temperature that makes IR detectors decades noisier than can be readily…
