Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for synthesizing a high resolution image associated with a large imaging aperture using an optical imaging apparatus having a smaller aperture. In certain implementations, introduction of a coherent homodyne reference beam to a coherent imaging of an object can result in formation of a Fourier space side lobe that includes information about a portion of a spectrum representative of the object's Fourier spectrum. Images can be obtained at a number of different orientations to yield a number of such side lobe images so as to allow construction of the object's spectrum. A synthesized image corresponding to such a constructed spectrum can have an improved resolution that exceeds the performance limit imposed by the aperture of the optical imaging apparatus.

Abstract: An interferometer and method for interferometric analysis are provided. The methodology includes generating first and second light beams from a light source, interacting the first light beam with an object under inspection, forming, from light emanating from the object under inspection in response to the interacting, an image of the light source on an image sensor, projecting the second light beam on the image on the image sensor, the combination of the light emanating from the object under inspection and the second light beam forming a collective image on the image sensor, applying a Fourier transform to the collective image formed on the image sensor, thereby forming a phase image, and isolating a wavefront map of the object under inspection from within the phase image.
