Abstract
Improved resolution of a time-varying optical image is provided with a wide field optical intensity modulator having a bandwidth greater than that of the detector array(s). The modulator configuration can have high photon collection efficiency, e.g. by using polarization modulation to split the incident light into several timegated channels.
