Analysis and Simulations of Lensless Imaging with Intensity Correlation Method

Abstract:

Traditional imaging method use high precision mirrors to focus the lightfield toobtain object’s imaging, this method is affected by aberrations and atmosphere turbulence. However lensless imaging method can get high resolution without using lens and mirrors ,it will make the system compact light weight. In this paper,we analysis and simulated a new lensless imaging method with intensity correlation, by this way,we can get high resolution imaging by bare Charge Coupled Device (CCD) only,and the simulations show that this method can obtain good image to low angular diameter object.
