Abstract

Recently it has been proposed that the classical diffraction limit could be overcome by taking into account multiple scattering effects to describe the interaction of a probing wave and the object to be imaged [Phys. Rev. E 73, 036619 (2006) ]. Here this idea is illustrated by considering two point scatterers spaced much less than a wavelength apart. It is observed that while under the Born approximation the scattered field pattern is similar to that of a monopole source centered between the scatterers, multiple scattering leads to a more complicated pattern. This additional complexity carries information about the subwavelength structure and can lead to superresolution in the presence of large noise levels. Moreover, it is pointed out that the additional information due to multiple scattering is interpreted as a form of coherent noise by inversion algorithms based on the Born approximation.
