<p>Precision measurement has been an important research area in sensing and metrology. In classical physics, the Fisher information determines the maximum extractable information from statistically unknown signals, based on a joint probability density function of independently and identically distributed random variables. The Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB) indicates the minimum error of the Fisher information, generally known as the shot-noise limit. On the other hand, coherence has pushed the resolution limit further overcoming the diffraction limit using many-wave interference strictly confined to the first-order intensity correlation. However, practical implementation is limited by the lithographic constraints in, e.g., optical gratings. Recently, a coherence technique of superresolution has been introduced to overcome the diffraction limit in phase sensitivity using higher-order intensity correlations of a phase-controlled output field from an interferometer. Here, the superresolution is adopted for precision metrology in an optical spectrometer, whose enhanced frequency resolution is linearly proportional to the intensity-product order, overcoming CRLB. Unlike quantum sensing using entangled photons, this technique is purely classical and offers robust performance against environmental noises, benefiting from the interferometer’s scanning mode for fringe counting.</p>
