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 …

I propose a spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE) measurement scheme for the far-field
imaging of spatially incoherent optical sources. For any object too small to be resolved by …

A novel interferometric method–SLIVER (Super Localization by Image inVERsion
interferometry)–is proposed for estimating the separation of two incoherent point sources …

We present an interferometric method to gain a theoretically infinite depth of field.
Simultaneously, this technique yields an enhanced lateral resolution. This can be achieved …

Based on image inverting interference combined with phase modulation, we theoretically
demonstrate that the doughnut focal spot can readily be manipulated, and either shrinkage …

Interferometric image processing systems based on image inversion normally use multiple
paths with inversion mirrors. Since such systems must meet strict requirements of alignment …

We propose a method to combine image inversion microscopy (IIM) with digital holography.
By using this technique we are able to avoid some disadvantages of the IIM, like the use of a …

We theoretically demonstrate that the doughnut focal spot can continuously be manipulated
by synthetically using various beam modulation techniques. Comparatively, a more evident …

Image inversion microscopy enables an increase of the lateral resolution of optical
microscopes. A huge advantage of the method is the possibility to combine it with different …

We propose a novel method to improve the lateral resolution of a general confocal laser
scanning microscopy (CLSM) by 10–35%, which can be readily realized by manipulating the …
