Title: Two-photon X-ray ghost microscope

Journal Article · · Optics Express
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.401449 · OSTI ID:1671853

This article presents a non-classical imaging mechanism that produces a diffraction-limited and magnified ghost image of the internal structure of an object through the measurement of intensity fluctuation correlation formed by two-photon interference. In principle, the lensless X-ray ghost imaging mechanism may achieve a spatial resolution determined by the wavelength and the angular diameter of the X-ray source, ∼ λ /Δ θ s , with possible reduction caused by additional optics. In addition, it has the ability to image select “slices” deep within an object, which can be used for constructing 3D view of its internal structure.
