Modes generally provide an economical description of waves, reducing complicated wave
functions to finite numbers of mode amplitudes, as in propagating fiber modes and ideal …

The wave-particle duality of light introduces two fundamental problems to imaging, namely,
the diffraction limit and the photon shot noise. Quantum information theory can tackle them …

Fully updated throughout, with several new chapters, this second edition of Introduction to
Inverse Problems in Imaging guides advanced undergraduate and graduate students in …

The resolution of optical imaging devices is ultimately limited by the diffraction of light. To
circumvent this limit, modern superresolution microscopy techniques employ active …

Optical measurements that can achieve the fundamental quantum limits have the potential to
improve the imaging of subdiffraction objects in important applications, including optical …

Delaminations, cracks and other defects in engineered structures often lie close to the
theoretical resolution limit for ultrasonic waves. While ultrasonic waveform tomography has …

This work presents an overview of spatial resolution criteria in classical optics, digital optics,
and holography. Although the classical Abbe and Rayleigh resolution criteria have been …

Inverse problems arise in many cutting-edge applications, where desired information can
only be recovered from indirect measurements. Such applications make inverse problems a …

I present a semiclassical analysis of a spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE) measurement
scheme for far-field incoherent optical imaging under the effects of diffraction and photon …

Using an infrared camera for thermographic imaging allows the contactless temperature
measurement of many surface pixels simultaneously. From the measured surface data, the …
