The resolution limit for far-field optical imaging

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Using the methods of the information theory, we derive the fundamental limit to the resolution of optical imaging, and demonstrate that in the far-field, contrary to the conventional wisdom, it is not equal or close to one half of the wavelength.
