Coherent Imaging

Coherent imaging is a technique that uses light or other waves with a fixed phase relationship—meaning their peaks and troughs align consistently—to capture detailed images of objects. This consistency allows the waves to interfere constructively or destructively, creating patterns that reveal fine structures and surface details. By analyzing these interference patterns, coherent imaging can produce high-resolution images and detect subtle features that might be invisible with traditional methods. It’s commonly used in applications like microscopy, holography, and non-destructive testing, offering precise insights into the internal and surface characteristics of materials and biological specimens.
