The spatial resolution of a traditional imaging system is restricted by the Rayleigh diffraction limit. In this paper, two types of classical light sources are generated by modulating the amplitude distribution and wavefront of a laser beam randomly, and the generated light sources can exhibit the features of the superposition of two-photon Fock states and the incoherent mixture of two-photon Fock states, respectively. With the generated light sources, the two-fold coherent and incoherent imaging schemes can be achieved, which lead to spatial resolution enhancement, and exceed the Rayleigh diffraction limit in the imaging system.
