Imaging around corners in the mid-infrared using speckle correlations

Abstract

Speckle correlation imaging offers the ability to see objects through diffusive materials and around corners. Imaging self-illuminating thermal objects in non-line-of-sight scenarios is of particular interest. Here, using bispectrum and phase retrieval methods, we demonstrate speckle correlation imaging of mid-infrared objects through diffusers and around corners at resolutions near the diffraction limit. The images agree well with those recorded by conventional cameras with line-of-sight to the same objects.
