Abstract

It shown via computational methods that the orientation and coordinates of single quantum electric dipole emitters in an isotropic medium can be clearly determined from scanned confocal luminescent images acquired using a circular inhomogeneous incoming beam. The efficiencies of circular inhomogeneous and radial beams are compared.
