Single-shot measurement of quantum optical phase.
Although the canonical phase of light, which is defined as the complement of photon number, has been described theoretically by a variety of distinct approaches, there have been no methods proposed for its measurement. Indeed doubts have been expressed about whether or not it is measurable. Here we show how it is possible, at least in principle, to perform a single-shot measurement of the canon...
متن کاملOptical detection and measurement of living cell morphometric features with single-shot quantitative phase microscopy.
We present a quadriwave lateral shearing interferometer used as a wavefront sensor and mounted on a commercial non-modified transmission white-light microscope as a quantitative phase imaging technique. The setup is designed to simultaneously make measurements with both quantitative transmission phase and fluorescence modes: phase enables enhanced contrasted visualization of the cell structure ...
متن کاملSingle shot amplitude and phase characterization of optical arbitrary waveforms.
Using a time-gated dual quadrature spectral interferometry technique, for the first time we demonstrate single-shot characterization of both spectral amplitude and phase of approximately 1THz bandwidth optical arbitrary waveforms generated from a 10 GHz frequency comb. Our measurements provide a temporal resolution of 1ps over a record length of 100ps. Singleshot characterization becomes partic...
متن کاملNear quantum-limited, single-shot coherent arbitrary optical waveform measurements.
Four-quadrature spectral interferometry using balanced coherent detection enables single-shot full-field characterization of complex-shaped optical waveforms with near quantum-limited sensitivity. A 90 degrees optical hybrid places a waveform in four-quadrature-phases with a stronger, well-characterized reference pulse. Measurement of the four spectra with an integrating two-dimensional detecto...
متن کاملAdaptive single-shot phase measurements: The full quantum theory
The phase of a single-mode field can be measured in a single-shot measurement by interfering the field with an effectively classical local oscillator of known phase. The standard technique is to have the local oscillator detuned from the system ~heterodyne detection! so that it is sometimes in phase and sometimes in quadrature with the system over the course of the measurement. This enables bot...
