We will show that photon correlations can be employed to overcome the typical limitations of conventional plenoptic imaging devices, thus leading to quantum-enhanced plenoptic imaging. In particular, we will show an unprecedented combination of resolution and depth of field combined with refocusing capability and depth extension. We will show experimental results obtained in different application scenarios, ranging from microscopy to photography-like protocols. Significant advances in acquisition speed will also be discussed, as achieved by both hardware (e.g., use of SPAD arrays, as opposed to common CMOS and CCD cameras) and software (e.g., compressive sensing, quantum tomography) solutions.

Abstract
We will show that photon correlations can be employed to overcome the typical limitations of conventional plenoptic imaging devices, thus leading to quantum-enhanced plenoptic imaging. In particular, we will show an unprecedented combination of resolution and depth of field combined with refocusing capability and depth extension. We will show experimental results obtained in different application scenarios, ranging from microscopy to photography-like protocols. Significant advances in acquisition speed will also be discussed, as achieved by both hardware (e.g., use of SPAD arrays, as opposed to common CMOS and CCD cameras) and software (e.g., compressive sensing, quantum tomography) solutions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
