You might be able to capture the phase information for very long IR wavelengths using something like Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) circuitry, but I doubt it would be practical. One issue would be that the data volume would be absurd, likely petabytes per second. Practical observations where this would be useful would require long integration times of many hours.
- gus_massa 2y agoIn systems like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Array https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_Large_Array , do they use the phase information to join the data from different antenas? '
- jiggawatts 2y agoYes, but at radio frequencies, where the data rate is much lower than with visible light.
