Abstract
I propose to use as a window the dark core of an optical vortex to examine a weak
background signal hidden in the glare of a bright coherent source. Applications such
as the detection of an astronomical object, forward-scattered radiation, and
incoherent light are described whereby signal enhancements of at least 7 orders of
magnitude may be achieved.
