Abstract
Super-resolution modal imaging methods and devices are disclosed herein. One super-resolution modal imaging device includes an optical component provided to receive incoming radiation, a mode separating structure for separating the received incoming radiation into multiple modes, at least one output array, and at least one detector array having multiple array elements for measuring an energy level of each mode to construct an image of the received incoming radiation.
Claims20
A quantum resolution modal imaging device, comprising:
- an optical component provided to receive incoming radiation;
- a mode confining structure;
- a mode separating structure;
- and
- at least one detector array having multiple array elements for measuring an energy level of each mode to construct an image of the received incoming radiation.
A super-resolution imaging device, comprising:
- an optical component provided to receive incoming radiation;
- a mode separating structure for separating the received incoming radiation into multiple modes;
- and
- at least one output array with rating elements for directing energy to a detector array having multiple array elements for measuring an energy level of each mode to construct an image of the received incoming radiation.
A quantum resolution modal imaging method, comprising:
- receiving incoming radiation with an optical component;
- separating the incoming radiation into multiple modes;
- routing each mode of radiation through a waveguide from input imaging array elements to output array elements;
- and
- directing the radiation from the output array elements to one or more detector array elements.
