Abstract
We present an analysis of the accuracy and information content of three-dimensional reconstructions of the dielectric susceptibility of a sample from noisy, near-field holographic measurements, such as those made in scanning probe microscopy. Holographic measurements are related to the dielectric susceptibility via a linear operator within the accuracy of the first Born approximation. The maximum-likelihood reconstruction of the dielectric susceptibility is expressed as a linear combination of basis functions determined by singular value decomposition of the weighted measurement operator. Maximum a posteriori estimates based on prior information are also discussed. Semianalytical expressions are given for the likely error due to measurement noise in the basis function coefficients, resulting in effective resolution limits in all three dimensions. These results are illustrated by numerical examples.
