Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system may include a synthetic optical aperture configured to receive a plurality of received photon beams comprising a scene including an object. The system may also include an active optical interference system configured to interfere each of the plurality of received photon beams from the synthetic optical aperture with a corresponding source photon beam of a plurality of source photon beams. The active optical interference system may generate a plurality of enhanced interference beams. Each enhanced interference beam includes at least a predetermined gain. The system may further include a detector system configured to detect the plurality of enhanced interference beams and generate an electrical output signal for use in generating a reconstructed image of the object with improved resolution responsive to at least the predetermined gain of the enhanced interference beams.
