Abstract
The Super-SVA algorithm has been shown effective for improving the resolution of microwave synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images. In this paper we review the Super-SVA algorithm and demonstrate its application to optical imaging systems using coherent laser illumination. Examples of such imaging systems include heterodyne-array imaging, holographic laser radar, laser synthetic-aperture radar, coherent phase retrieval from pupil-plane intensities, and SCIP (sheared-beam imaging). We consider the case of a bright object on a dark background. We show the difference in performance for different features of the image -- prominent points versus extended, diffuse areas.
