Quantum estimation theory provides bounds for the precision in the estimation of a set of parameters that characterize a system. Two questions naturally arise: Is any of these bounds tight? And if this is the case, what type of measurements can attain such a limit? In this work we show that for phase objects, it is possible to find a tight resolution bound. Moreover one can find a set of spatial modes whose detection provides an optimal estimation of the complete set of parameters for which we propose a homodyne detection scheme. We call this method spatial spectroscopy since it mimics in the spatial domain what conventional spectroscopy methods do in the frequency domain employing many frequencies (hyperspectral imaging).
