Project description

The project aims at the development of methods for superresolved imaging of nanostructures with the use of hyperbolic metamaterials and compressive imaging in the far field. The main research activities will be focused on development of new photonic nanostructures and algorithms for compressive microscopy with an indirect measurement in the far field as well as of experimental systems including the imaging spectrometer and the microscopic setup.
