Lossless encoding compressed ultrafast photography: Capturing light-speed scattering dynamics in a snapshot

Abstract

We have developed lossless compressed ultrafast photography (LLE-CUP), a single-shot receive-only ultrafast imaging modality with an imaging speed of 100 billion frames per second. Using LLE-CUP, we have imaged, for the first time, a scattering-induced propagating photonic Mach cone in real time.
