Ghost Imaging with High Visibility Using Classical Light Source

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a novel ghost imaging experiment utilizing a classical light source, capable of resolving objects with a high visibility. The experimental results show that our scheme can indeed realize ghost imaging with high visibility for a relatively complicated object composed of three near-ellipse-shaped holes with different dimensions. In our experiment, the largest hole is ~36 times of the smallest one in area. Each of the three holes exhibits high-visibility in excess of 80%. The high visibility and high spatial-resolution advantages of this technique could have applications in remote sensing.
