Grating-enhanced Coherent Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a coherent imaging technique that utilizes a diffraction grating placed near the object to alias high spatial frequency information through the imaging system pupil. The resulting optical field in the image plane is detected by means of digital holography. Multiple measurements are taken with the grating shifted by a fraction of its period between exposures. Linear signal processing is then used to separate the aliased spectral components, and Fourier techniques are applied to reconstruct high-resolution images. Experimental results validate the approach, yielding an enhancement in resolution by a factor of 2.6 when using five diffracted beams (orders up to ±2).

Two-dimensional fluorescence-detected coherent spectroscopy with absolute phasing by confocal imaging of a dynamic grating and 27-step phase-cycling.
We present a novel experimental scheme for two-dimensional fluorescence-detected coherent spectroscopy (2D-FDCS) using a non-collinear beam geometry with the aid of "confocal imaging" of dynamic (population) grating and 27-step phase-cycling to extract the signal. This arrangement obviates the need for distinct experimental designs for previously developed transmission detected non-collinear tw...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Fibonacci grating for far-field super-resolution imaging
A two-dimensional (2D) Fibonacci grating is used to transform evanescent waves into propagating waves for far-field super-resolution imaging. By detecting far-field intensity distributions of light field through objects in front of the 2D Fibonacci grating in free space at once, we can retrieve the image of objects with beyond λ/7 spatial resolution. We also find that the coherent illumination ...
متن کاملCoherent superresolution imaging via grating-based illumination
This paper describes two superresolution coherent imaging techniques, which both use a diffraction grating to direct high spatial frequency information that would otherwise be lost through the imaging system pupil. The techniques employ digital holography to measure the optical field in the image plane and rely on capturing multiple holograms with the illumination condition altered between expo...
متن کاملTransmissive quasi-optical Ronchi phase grating for terahertz frequencies.
A transmissive, square-wave Ronchi phase grating has been fabricated from the dielectric polytetrafluoroethylene to diffract an ~0.7 THz beam quasi-optically. When illuminated by a coherent, cw terahertz (THz) source, the spot separation of the ±1 diffractive orders and the diffraction efficiency were measured as a function of THz frequency and rotation angle. The grating performance depends se...
متن کاملUnderstanding fractional-order surface plasmons.
We show experimentally that diffraction-induced surface plasmon excitation can mimic enhanced transmission and cause a highly sensitive modulation by the coherent interference between zero-order and reflected first-order diffraction in select regions of the terahertz spectrum. Based on the study of a one-dimensional metallic grating, we obtain the physical mechanisms of the fractional-order sur...
