Abstract

We construct a universal image formation theory that covers almost all optical imaging systems with diverse (coherent, incoherent, linear, and nonlinear) light-matter interactions, by utilizing Feynman diagrams. To deal with all optical systems ranging from classical to cutting-edge instruments including OCT in one framework, we reformulate the theory in four dimensions. We incorporate the vacuum field to treat incoherent interactions by using the operator for electric field.
