Imaging three-dimensional single-atom arrays all at once

Simultaneous imaging of a three-dimensional distribution of point sources is presented. In a two-lens microscope, the point-spreads on the quasi-image plane, which is located between the Fourier and image planes, are spatially distinct, so a set of Fresnel lenslets can perform individual wave-front shaping for axial and lateral rearrangements of the images. In experiments performed with single atoms and holographically programmed lenslets, various three-dimensional arrangements of point sources, including axially aligned atoms, are successfully refocused on the screen, demonstrating the simultaneous and time-efficient detection of the three-dimensional holographic imaging. We expect that non-sequential real-time measurements of three-dimensional point sources shall be in particular useful for quantum correlation measurements and in situ tracking of dynamic particles.
