1. A system, comprising:

  • a synthetic optical aperture configured to receive a plurality of received photon beams comprising a scene including an object;

    an active optical interference system configured to interfere each of the plurality of received photon beams from the synthetic optical aperture with a corresponding source photon beam of a plurality of source photon beams, the active optical interference system generating a plurality of enhanced interference beams, each enhanced interference beam comprising at least a predetermined increase in gain; and

    a detector system configured to detect the plurality of enhanced interference beams and generate an electrical output signal for use in generating a reconstructed image of the object with improved resolution responsive to at least the predetermined increase in gain of the enhanced interference beams.
