Imaging cold atoms with shot-noise and diffraction limited holography
We theoretically develop and experimentally demonstrate a holographic method for imaging cold atoms at the diffraction and photon shot noise limits. Aided by a double point source reference field, a simple iterative algorithm robustly removes the twin image of an Rb cold atom sample during the image reconstruction. Shot-noise limited phase shift and absorption images are consistently retrieved ...
متن کاملSingle-shot compressive imaging
We present a method to capture directly a compressed version of an object’s image. The compression is accomplished by optical means with a single exposure. For objects that have sparse representation in some known domain (e.g. Fourier or wavelet) the novel imaging systems has larger effective space-bandwidth-product than conventional imaging systems. This implies, for example, that more object ...
متن کاملSingle-shot terahertz imaging
The appropriate timing for imaging an object was discovered for a half-cycle terahertz (THz) pulse generated from a large-aperture photoconductive antenna. Two-dimensional THz imaging with single-shot detection was conducted. This enables observation of ultrafast phenomena at a frame rate of 1000 frames/s. ©2003 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (320.7120) Ultrafast phenomena; (110.2970) I...
متن کاملNondestructive spatial heterodyne imaging of cold atoms.
We demonstrate a new method for nondestructive imaging of laser-cooled atoms. This spatial heterodyne technique forms a phase image by interfering a strong reference laser beam with a weak probe beam that passes through the cold atom cloud. The figure of merit equals or exceeds that of phase-contrast imaging, and the technique can be used over a wider range of spatial scales. We show images of ...
متن کاملDiffraction-contrast imaging of cold atoms
We consider the inverse problem of in-line holography, applied to minimally destructive imaging of cold atom clouds. Absorption imaging near resonance provides a simple, but destructive measurement of atom column density. Imaging off resonance greatly reduces heating, and sequential images may be taken. Under the conditions required for off-resonant imaging, the generally intractable inverse pr...
