Abstract

We present results from development of a photonic Quantum-Inspired Imager (QI2) providing source reconstruction below the optical/NIR diffraction limit through atmospheric turbulence without adaptive optics. Our group has demonstrated a photonic spatial mode sorter quantum-sensing device in practice — a photonic lantern — with capabilities in both spatial and spectral diversity, as well as future extensions to polarization sensitivity. Our team has developed high-efficiency photonic lantern mode-sorting/multiplexing devices fabricated in optical fibers. Our proposed passive imaging system is therefore based on three main innovations: (i) photonic lantern spatial mode sorters with spatial and spectral diversity, (ii) atmospheric blur removal enabled by mode-/wavelength-resolution, (iii) quantum-inspired image reconstruction techniques.
