Super-Resolution Coherent Diffractive Imaging via Titled-Incidence Multi-Rotation-Angle Fusion Ptychography

Abstract

Coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) enables lensless imaging with experimental simplicity and a flexible field of view, yet its resolution is fundamentally constrained by the Abbe diffraction limit. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a novel Tilted-Incidence Multi-Rotation-Angle Fusion Ptychography technique. This approach leverages a tilted-incidence geometry to extend the collection angle beyond the Abbe limit, achieving up to a -fold resolution enhancement. By acquiring diffraction patterns at multiple sample rotation angles, we capture complementary spatial frequency information. A tilted-incidence multi-rotation-angle fusion ptychographic iterative engine (tmf-PIE) algorithm is then employed to integrate these datasets, enabling super-resolution image reconstruction. Additionally, this method mitigates the anisotropic resolution artifacts inherent to tilted CDI geometries. Our technique represents a novel advancement in super-resolution imaging, providing a novel alternative alongside established methods such as STED, SIM, and SMLM.
