我们建议使用统计独立的热光源发出的光子的多光子干涉，结合线性光学检测技术来重建，即以亚经典分辨率在一维上成像任意源几何。该方案是早期工作的扩展[S.Oppel等人，Phys.莱特牧师。109,233603(2012年)]，其中一维中的N个规则间隔的源通过使用N阶强度相关函数来成像。在这里，我们利用m>；=3阶的强度关联函数，推广了在一维中以任意间隔重建任意数目的独立热光源的方案。我们给出了证实成像协议的实验结果，并为获得的亚经典分辨率提供了严格的数学证明。
We propose to use multiphoton interferences of photons emitted fromstatistically independent thermal light sources in combination with linear optical detection techniques to reconstruct, i.e., image, arbitrary source geometries in one dimension with subclassical resolution. The scheme is an extension of earlier work [S. Oppel et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 233603 (2012)], where N regularly spaced sources in one dimension were imaged by use of the Nth-order intensity correlation function. Here, we generalize the scheme to reconstruct any number of independent thermal light sources at arbitrary separations in one dimension, exploiting intensity correlation functions of order m >= 3. We present experimental results confirming the imaging protocol and provide a rigorous mathematical proof for the obtained subclassical resolution.
