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 کاملBeating the shot-noise limit
The current shot-noise of an electron beam is proportional to its average current and the frequency bandwidth. This is a consequence of the Poisson distribution statistics of particles emitted at random from any source. Here we demonstrate noise suppression below the shot-noise limit in optical frequencies for relativistic electron beams. This process is made possible by collective Coulomb inte...
متن کاملDeterministic superresolution with coherent states at the shot noise limit.
Interference of light fields plays an important role in various high-precision measurement schemes. It has been shown that superresolving phase measurements beyond the standard coherent state limit can be obtained either by using maximally entangled multiparticle states of light or using complex detection approaches. Here we show that superresolving phase measurements at the shot noise limit ca...
متن کاملComputer-based photon-counting lock-in for phase detection at the shot-noise limit.
We implement a simple computer-based photon-counting lock-in that combines the signal-to-noise benefits of photon counting with lock-in detection. We experimentally specify the flatness and the noise characteristics of a flexible software implementation. The noise of amplitude and phase of the small signal is at the limit of photonic shot noise; from 1000 counted photons we reach an amplitude r...
