Abstract

Superresolution owns considerable significance in many cases, such as optical data storage, confocal scanning microscopy and laser lithography. Variation theory of functional is used in this paper for the discussion on the limits of optical superresolution. Globally optimal solutions can be obtained by this theory with the upper bound of the radiation flux through the input plane restricted.
