High-sensitivity imaging with multi-mode twin beams
Twin entangled beams produced by single-pass parametric down-conversion PDC offer the opportunity to detect weak amount of absorption with an improved sensitivity with respect to standard techniques which make use of classical light sources. We propose a differential measurement scheme which exploits the spatial quantum correlation of type-II PDC to image a weak amplitude object with a sensitiv...
متن کاملSpatial and spectral coherence in propagating high-intensity twin beams
Spatial and spectral coherence of high-intensity twin-beam states propagating from the near-field to the far-field configurations is experimentally investigated by measuring intensity auto- and cross-correlation functions. The experimental setup includes a moving crystal and an iCCD camera placed at the output plane of an imaging spectrometer. Evolution from the tight near-field spatial positio...
متن کاملHigh-resolution photoacoustic imaging with focused laser and ultrasonic beams.
We report a photoacoustic imager that utilizes a focused laser beam in combination with a 20 MHz ultrasound focusing transducer to obtain micron-resolution tissue images over a long working distance. The imager is based on a ring transducer that combines ultrasonic and laser beams collinearly and confocally in a monolithic element. The combination of focused laser beam and short pulse irradiati...
متن کاملHighly efficient single-pass source of pulsed single-mode twin beams of light.
We report the realization of a bright ultrafast type II parametric down-conversion source of twin beams free of any spatiotemporal correlations in a periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PP-KTP) waveguide. From a robust, single-pass setup it emits pulsed two-mode squeezed vacuum states: photon-number entangled pairs of single-mode pulses or, in terms of continuous variables quantum optics, pulsed Einstei...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity mode-locked fiber laser gyroscope.
We report significant performance improvement of a mode-locked fiber laser gyroscope. A Fabry-Perot cavity GaAlAs laser diode whose front facet was antireflection coated was used as a gain medium. The rms noise equivalent rotation rate measured with a time-interval counter was improved to 0.06deg/ radicalh. The long-term drift of the gyroscope signal was reduced to 100deg/ radicalh after a pola...
