Abstract
Spatial information exceeding the passband of an imaging system can be captured by using the optics to generate a spatiotemporal multiple beam interference pattern that is scanned over the object, rather than using it to image the object directly. The modulation of the higher temporal harmonics of the signal resulting from collecting the scattered light represents a mapping in the time domain of higher spatial harmonics of the data. Upon reconstruction, the additional temporal degrees of freedom are mapped back in the spatial domain where they represent spatial frequencies exceeding the passband of the optics. The spatial resolution is thus not limited by the spatial passband, but rather by the temporal bandwidth of the detection system. Due to hardware limitations, experimental demonstration is provided only for a one-dimensional scan of Ronchi gratings with 50 and 200 lines per inch.
