Single-shot mid-infrared incoherent holography using Lucy-Richardson-Rosen algorithm

In recent years, there has been a significant transformation in the field of incoherent imaging with new possibilities compressing three-dimensional (3D) information into two-dimensional intensity distribution without two-beam interference (TBI). Most 3D imagers TBI are based on scattering by random phase mask exhibiting sharp autocorrelation and low cross-correlation along depth. Consequently, during reconstruction, high lateral axial resolutions obtained. Imaging requires an astronomical photon budget is therefore precluded many power-sensitive applications. this study, proof-of-concept method using deterministic fields demonstrated. A reconstruction called Lucy-Richardson-Rosen algorithm developed for concept. We believe that proposed approach will cause paradigm-shift current state-of-the-art imaging, fluorescence microscopy, mid-infrared fingerprinting, fast object recognition
