Abstract

The results of this novel study, based on multipixel and single-pixel detection geometries, indicate that, significantly higher contrast target detection images have been obtained by doping the surrounding medium with active optical molecules, in conjunction to efficient polarimetric techniques, yielding to an enhanced contract and specificity of the target.
