Temporal superresolution based on a localization microscopy algorithm

Abstract

We investigate the resolution limits of time lenses based on a four-wave mixing process and present a superresolution technique in the time domain based on a localization microscopy algorithm. Our temporal superresolution technique retrieves features shorter by a factor of 2 than the resolution limit of the system. We present both measured and calculated results of the superresolution scheme and present calculated superresolution of input signals with higher complexity.
