Abstract
We present an analytical description and an experimental realization of interscale mixing microscopy, a diffraction-based imaging technique that is capable of detecting wavelength/10 objects in far-field measurements with both coherent and incoherent broadband light. This method aims at recovering the spatial spectrum of light diffracted by a subwavelength object based on far-field measurements of the interference created by the object and a finite diffraction grating. A single measurement, analyzing the multiple diffraction orders, is often sufficient to determine the parameters of the object. The presented formalism opens the door for spectroscopy of nanoscale objects in the far-field.
