Abstract
To address the problem of instability in phase retrieval, ptychography technology was introduced to intensity interferometry (II), called ptychography II imaging (PIII). The resolution of PIII system is limited by the size of detection aperture. However, large-aperture detector means high cost. In this paper, the concept of aperture synthesis is brought to PIII. We theoretically derive the periodicity of speckle pattern produced by PIII, which can help guide the system design. Our findings also suggested that discontinuous speckle patterns can still be used to reconstruct the image of object. Additionally, the aperture-synthesis-based PIII system was found to have stronger tolerance to intensity noise and could reconstruct images at low signal-to-noise ratios. Finally, by conducting simulations and experiments, we demonstrated the effectiveness of the aperture-synthesis-based PIII system. These results indicate that aperture synthesis is a valuable approach for enhancing the performance of PIII system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
