# Plenoptic imaging with second-order correlations of light

## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates a novel plenoptic imaging technique using second-order correlations of chaotic light, allowing for 3D imaging in a single shot and overcoming limitations of classical methods.

## Contribution

It introduces a new approach to plenoptic imaging leveraging second-order correlations, expanding capabilities beyond traditional devices.

## Key findings

- Enables 3D imaging with a single shot
- Overcomes classical plenoptic device limitations
- Uses chaotic light for correlation-based imaging

## Abstract

Plenoptic imaging is a promising optical modality that simultaneously captures the location and the propagation direction of light in order to enable tridimensional imaging in a single shot. We demonstrate that it is possible to implement plenoptic imaging through second-order correlations of chaotic light, thus enabling to overcome the typical limitations of classical plenoptic devices.
