Measurement of coherent x-ray focused beams by phase retrieval with transverse translation diversity.
We describe a method for characterizing focused x-ray beams using phase retrieval, with diversity achieved by transversely translating a phase-shifting or absorbing structure close to the beam focus. The required measurements can be taken with an experimental setup that is similar to that already used for fluorescent scan testing. The far-field intensity pattern is measured for each position of...
متن کاملSub-shot-noise phase quadrature measurement of intense light beams.
We present a setup for performing sub-shot-noise measurements of the phase quadrature of intense pulsed light without the use of a separate local oscillator. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an unbalanced arm length is used to detect the fluctuations of the phase quadrature at a single sideband frequency. With this setup, the nonseparability of a pair of quadrature-entangled beams is demonstr...
متن کاملDirectly Phase-Modulated Light Source
The art of imparting information onto a light wave by optical signal modulation is fundamental to all forms of optical communication. Among many schemes, direct modulation of laser diodes stands out as a simple, robust, and cost-effective method. However, the simultaneous changes in intensity, frequency, and phase have prevented its application in the field of secure quantum communication. Here...
متن کاملSensitive Measurement of Flow Velocity and Flow Direction Using a Circular Thermistor Array
Eight highly sensitive amorphous germanium thermistors (TCR = -1.8%/K) are the sensitive part of the micromachined sensors for flow velocity and flow direction. Carried by a 1.3 μm thick diaphragm they measure temperature differences generated by the sample flow and a heater (430 μW). This allows gas flow measurements in the range from 0.025 m/s to about 3 m/s with a sensitivity of up to 30 mV/...
متن کاملTransverse Priority Phase Sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography
A variation on the standard time domain optical coherence tomography (TDOCT) system is presented. Using an inexpensive piezoelectric stack to modulate the reference mirror position, the amplitude and phase of the sample reflection is determined without scanning. With the primary scan in the transverse direction, en face and B-scan OCT images can be readily produced with phase information. This ...
