Continuous wave two-photon scanning near-field optical microscopy.
We have implemented continuous-wave two-photon excitation of near-UV absorbing fluorophores in a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM). The 647-nm emission of an Ar-Kr mixed gas laser was used to excite the UV-absorbing DNA dyes DAPI, the bisbenzimidazole Hoechst 33342, and ethidium bromide in a shared aperture SNOM with uncoated fiber tips. Polytene chromosomes of Drosophila melanogast...
متن کاملTwo-photon fluorescence excitation in continuous-wave infrared optical tweezers.
We report the observation of two-photon f luorescence excitation in a continuous-wave (cw) single-beam gradient force optical trap and demonstrate its use as an in situ probe to study the physiological state of an optically confined sample. In particular, a cw Nd:YAG (1064-nm) laser is used simultaneously to conf ine, and excite visible f luorescence from submicrometer regions of, cell specimen...
متن کاملQuantum interference in two-photon excitation with squeezed and coherent fields
Two-photon excitation of a three-level atom in a ladder configuration (1→2→3) by simultaneous illumination with fields in squeezed vacuum and coherent states results in quantum interference for the excitation process. The particular configuration considered here is one for which the signal and idler output fields of a subthreshold nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator are in resonance wit...
متن کاملReal-Time Quadrature Measurement of a Single-Photon Wave Packet with Continuous Temporal-Mode Matching.
Real-time controls based on quantum measurements are powerful tools for various quantum protocols. However, their experimental realization has been limited by mode mismatch between the temporal mode of quadrature measurement and that heralded by photon detection. Here, we demonstrate real-time quadrature measurement of a single-photon wave packet induced by photon detection by utilizing continu...
متن کاملTwo-photon wave mechanics
The position-representation wave function for multi-photon states and its equation of motion are introduced. A major strength of the theory is that it describes the complete evolution (including polarization and entanglement) of multi-photon states propagating through inhomogeneous media. As a demonstration of the two-photon wave function’s use, we show how two photons in an orbitalangular-mome...
