The realisation of 4D light fields, where longitudinal polarisation represents the fourth dimension, has been limited by the lack of appropriate analysis techniques. Here, the authors use interaction with self-assembled monolayers of fluorescent molecules, which allow for identification of non-paraxial light fields based on a single image frame.
