Abstract lt is common knowledge in optics that, when only far fields are measured, there is a fundamental limit to the resolution given by the wavelength of the light. Yet research continues to beat this fundamental limit. Even a Nobel Prize was awarded for super-resolution some years ago. In this article we consider the apparent …

How to sense and measure what is too small to be directly measured with light. We develop novel techniques and instruments to perform better and smarter sensing and more accurate measurements. Sensitive detector based on superconductor, smart optical design, artificial intelligent in scattering data are some of the examples.
The Optics Research Group performs research in: high resolution imaging and sensing, Highly sensitive optical metrology, new optical sources and detectors, in a wide wavelength range from x-rays to THz and with high application potential. Scientific and technical breakthroughs are achieved by using and developing opto-electronic devices to actively and adaptively shape and steer electromagnetic …

Aberration retrieval and spatial coherence property measurement for imaging system
The phase of a field is often more important than the amplitude. This is in particular true for focusing of light. To improve the quality of imaging it is often desirable to consider the phase in the exit pupil of the imaging system. The determination of both phase and amplitude are essential in coherent lensless …
