Abstract: Photoemission orbital tomography provides a unique access to the real-space molecular orbitals of well-ordered organic semiconductor layers. Specifically, the application of phase retrieval algorithms to photon-energy- and angle-resolved photoemission patterns enables the reconstruction of full 3D molecular orbitals independent of density functional theory calculations. However, until now this procedure has remained challenging due to the need for densely-sampled, well-calibrated 3D photoemission data. Here, we present an iterative projection algorithm that completely eliminates this challenge: For the benchmark case of the pentacene frontier orbitals, we demonstrate reconstruction of the full orbital based on a dataset containing only four photoemission momentum maps. Based upon application to simulated data, we discuss the algorithm performance, sampling requirements with respect to the photon energy, optimal measurement strategies and the accuracy of orbital images that can be achieved.
