Chinese scientists report on a groundbreaking advancement in optical imaging technology with the development of what is considered the world’s most powerful spy camera, utilizing a laser-based imaging system known as synthetic aperture lidar.
This cutting-edge technology enables high-resolution imaging from distances exceeding 100 kilometers with an unprecedented precision of 1.7 millimeters.
In a recent test across Qinghai Lake, a vast alpine body of water in China’s remote northwest, the system successfully detected fine details from 101.8 kilometers away. The trial, conducted under ideal atmospheric conditions, involved targeting arrays of reflective prisms placed at extreme distances. The device demonstrated a level of resolution 100 times greater than traditional spy cameras and optical telescopes reliant on lenses.
The breakthrough was achieved by a research team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Aerospace Information Research Institute. Experts believe that this advancement could have significant military and surveillance applications, potentially allowing China to monitor foreign military assets, satellites, and even stealth aircraft with unparalleled clarity.
This innovation further strengthens China’s capabilities in high-tech surveillance and defense technology.
