This breakthrough demonstrates wide-field quantum imaging at mid-infrared wavelengths without requiring cooled detectors, effectively suppressing thermal noise by over 100 times. By utilizing undetected photons and non-collinear phase-matching in silver thiogallate crystals, the system enables high-resolution spectroscopy and remote sensing previously hindered by heat radiation limits. This advancement represents a significant leap in quantum imaging capabilities, moving beyond traditional detector constraints for specific scientific applications.

Over eight thousand distinct details, each resolved to less than three hundred micrometres, now appear in long-wave infrared images without reliance on traditional detectors. This demonstration of wide-field quantum imaging extends beyond previously achievable wavelengths of 4. 3m, opening new avenues for remote sensing and spectroscopy.

Mid-infrared imaging was previously limited by background noise and reliance on cooled detectors, with high resolution requiring complex systems. Wide-field quantum imaging with undetected photons has now been achieved at these frequencies for the first time. Utilising a silver thiogallate crystal and non-collinear phase-matching enabled over 8000 ±100 resolvable elements with a 297 ±5μm resolution. An infrared imaging technique overcomes limitations imposed by heat noise; traditional methods struggle to detect faint signals amidst strong thermal radiation. The approach…
