Lett. 87 013603, Note: Due to the lack of a two-photon absorber, the joint-detection measurement in this experiment was on the Fourier transform plane rather than on the image plane. It was implicit in [7] that a second. Fourier transform, by inserting a second, lens in that experimental setup, would transfer the Fourier transform of the object onto its image plane, thus giving an image with doubled spatial resolution despite the Rayleigh diffraction limit. It might be helpful to point out that the observation of sub-wavelength interference in a Mach Zehnder type interferometer cannot lead to sub-diffraction-limited images, except a set of double modulated interference patterns. The Fourier transform argument works only for imaging setups as given in [7] (2001).
