Paper Abstract
We map the transverse profile of light beams using
photon-number-resolving detectors, and observe compression of
beam profiles for higher detected photon-number. This compression is exploited to enable contrast enhancement
between two point images separated at the Rayleigh limit. This enhancement exists for all separations up until the
classical Sparrow limit.
