Abstract
Abstract Wide-field magnetic imaging based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond has been shown the applicability in material and biological science. However, the spatial resolution is limited by the optical diffraction limit (>200 nm) due to the optical real-space localization and readout of NV centers. Here, we report the wide-field Fourier magnetic imaging technique to improve spatial resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit while maintaining the large field of view. Our method relies on wide-field pulsed magnetic field gradient encoding of NV spins and Fourier transform under pixel-dependent spatial filters. We have improved spatial resolution by a factor of 20 compared to the optical resolution and demonstrated the wide-field super-resolution magnetic imaging of a gradient magnetic field. This technique paves a way for efficient magnetic imaging of large-scale fine structures at the nanoscale.
