"Although lidar can be used to image the overall shape of a person, it typically doesn't capture finer details such as facial features," said research team leader Ashley Lyons from the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. "By adding extra depth resolution, our approach could capture enough detail to not only see facial features but even someone's fingerprints."

In the Optica Publishing Group journal Optics Express, Lyons and first author Robbie Murray describe the new technique, which they call imaging two-photon interference lidar. They show that it can distinguish reflective surfaces less than 2 millimeters apart and create high-resolution 3D images with micron-scale resolution.
