Photon Counting for Bragg Spectroscopy of Quantum Gases
We demonstrate a photon-counting technique for detecting Bragg excitation of an ultracold gas of atoms. By measuring the response of the light field to the atoms, we derive a signal independent of traditional time-of-flight atom-imaging techniques. With heterodyne detection we achieve photon shot-noise limited detection of the amplification or depletion of one of the Bragg laser beams. Photon c...
متن کاملQuantum polarization spectroscopy of ultracold spinor gases.
We propose a method for the detection of ground state quantum phases of spinor gases through a series of two quantum nondemolition measurements performed by sending off-resonant, polarized light pulses through the gas. Signatures of various mean-field as well as strongly correlated phases of F=1 and F=2 spinor gases obtained by detecting quantum fluctuations and mean values of polarization of t...
متن کاملMultichannel photon counting instrument for spatially resolved near infrared spectroscopy
We have developed a multichannel photon counting instrument for near infrared spatially resolved spectroscopy. The instrument uses two laser diodes at 780 and 830 nm. The two wavelengths are time multiplexed at a rate of 5 MHz for virtually simultaneous measurements at the two wavelengths. The photon pulses are then multiplexed with an optical switch so that the incident optical signals are dir...
متن کاملHigh-speed photon counting techniques for broadband quantum key distribution
Quantum Cryptography has demonstrated the potential for ultra-secure communications. However, with quantumchannel transmission rates in the MHz range, typical link losses and signal-to-noise ratios have resulted in keyproduction rates that are impractical for continuous one-time-pad encryption of high-bandwidth communications. We have developed high-speed data handling electronics that support ...
متن کاملThe photon counting histogram in fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy.
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is generally used to obtain information about the number of fluorescent particles in a small volume and the diffusion coefficient from the autocorrelation function of the fluorescence signal. Here we demonstrate that photon counting histogram (PCH) analysis constitutes a novel tool for extracting quantities from fluorescence fluctuation data, i.e., th...
