Imaging two-dimensional source geometries using higher order spatial photon correlations — •Anton Classen1,2, Felix Waldmann1, Raimund Schneider1,2, Thomas Mehringer1,2, and Joachim von Zanthier1,2 — 1Institut für Optik, Information und Photonik, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, 91058 Erlangen — 2Erlangen Graduate School in Advanced Optical Technologies (SAOT), Universität Erlangen Nürnberg, 91052 Erlangen)
Measuring higher order correlation functions is an emerging technique in the field of imaging to overcome the classical resolution limit [1-3]. We propose to use higher order spatial correlations of photons emitted by independent classical sources with thermal statistics to implement an imaging technique capable of reconstructing arbitrary two-dimensional source geometries. The detection scheme generalizes our earlier imaging scheme which resolved one-dimensional source geometries with sub-Abbe resolution [3]. The scheme is able to isolate all spatial frequencies of the system sequentially what allows to retrieve the geometry of the sources. We present experimental data verifying the theory.
