I’ve been exploring concepts that could push imaging beyond the diffraction limit using a combination of established technologies. One such idea is the Photonic-Optic Meta-Lattice (POML), which integrates principles like:
Sub-wavelength imaging – capturing details smaller than the wavelength of light
Negative refraction – using metamaterials to bend light in unconventional ways
Superlensing – enhancing resolution by amplifying evanescent waves
Photon recycling – redirecting and reusing photons to refine optical clarity
Since each of these has been independently demonstrated, I’m curious—could their combination provide a viable method to surpass current imaging limitations?
Would love to hear insights from those working with advanced optics! Could a concept like this have practical applications in telescopic or microscopy-based systems?
