Abstract
The resolution in the phase distribution of coherent images of strong phase objects is investigated using moment method near field calculati ons and simulated far field images. It is demonstrated that an apparen t superresolution for pi-phaseshifts corresponds to a threshold criter ion and that the images depend strongly on polarization and refractive index.
