Label-free microscopy exploits light scattering to obtain a three-dimensional image of biological tissues. However, light propagation is affected by aberrations and multiple scattering, which drastically degrade the image quality and limit…
We propose a methodology that exploits large and diverse data sets to accurately estimate the ambient medium's Green's functions in strongly scattering media. Given these estimates, obtained with and without the use of neural networks,…
As a general rule of thumb the resolution of a light microscope (i.e. the ability to discern objects) is predominantly described by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of its point spread function (psf)---the diameter of the blurring…
We present a method to improve the resolution of available hyperlenses in the literature. In this method, we combine the operation of hyperlens with the recently proposed plasmon injection scheme for loss compensation in metamaterials.…
Weakly-supervised object detection attempts to limit the amount of supervision by dispensing the need for bounding boxes, but still assumes image-level labels on the entire training set. In this work, we study the problem of training an…
We propose a nonlinear imaging scheme with undetected photons that overcomes the diffraction limit by transferring near-field information at one wavelength to far-field information of a correlated photon with a different wavelength…
We describe and experimentally validate an algorithm to reconstruct an unknown extended object from through-focus measured image intensities blurred by unknown aberrations. It is shown that the method can recover diffraction-limited image…
Recent years have witnessed the prosperity of reference-based image super-resolution (Ref-SR). By importing the high-resolution (HR) reference images into the single image super-resolution (SISR) approach, the ill-posed nature of this…
In coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) the resolution of the reconstructed object is limited by the numerical aperture of the experimental setup. We present here a theoretical and numerical study for achieving super-resolution by…
Focusing using conventional lenses relies on the collection and interference of propagating waves, but discounts the evanescent waves that decay rapidly from the source. Since these evanescent waves contain the finest details of the source,…

Microscope objectives achieve near diffraction-limited performance only when used under the conditions they are designed for. In non-standard geometries, such as thick cover slips or curved surfaces, severe aberrations arise, inevitably…
Flat optics have been proposed as an attractive approach for the implementation of new imaging and sensing modalities to replace and augment refractive optics. However, chromatic aberrations impose fundamental limitations on diffractive…
The restrictions on the resolution of transmission devices formed by wire media (arrays of conductive cylinders) recently proposed in [Phys. Rev. B, 71, 193105 (2005)] and experimentally tested in [Phys. Rev. B, 73, 033108 (2006)] are…
In this paper we broadly consider techniques which utilize projections on rays for data collection, with particular emphasis on optical techniques. We formulate a variety of imaging techniques as either special cases or extensions of…
We propose a novel technique of microscopy to overcome the effects of both scattering and limitation of the accessible depth due to the objective working distance. By combining Laser Optical Feedback Imaging (LOFI) with Acoustic Photon…
Optical detection of individual nanometer-sized analytes, virus particles, and protein molecules holds great promise for understanding and control of biological samples and healthcare applications. As fluorescent labels impose restrictions…
The diffraction limited resolution of light focused by a lens was derived in 1873 by Ernst Abbe. Later in 1952, a method to reach sub-diffraction light spots was proposed by modulating the wavefront of the focused beam. In a related…
