Correlated two-photon imaging with true thermal light.
Received March 14, 2005; revised manuscript received May 4, 2005; accepted May 4, 2005 We report what is believed to be the first experimental demonstration of two-photon correlated imaging with true thermal light from a hollow cathode lamp. The coherence time of the source is much shorter than that of previous experiments using random scattered light from a laser. A two-pinhole mask was used a...
متن کاملTheory of two-photon interference
The interference effects that can be observed in the two output arms of a lossless beam splitter are calculated for incident light in the form of a photon-pair excitation in the two input arms. The output state that occurs when the photon pair is excited in a single input arm resembles that expected for independent classical particles, whereas quantum interference effects occur when the photon ...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Interference without Bunching Two Photons
We report an interference experiment in which the two-photon entangled state interference cannot be pictured in terms of the overlap and bunching of two individual photons on a beamsplitter. We also demonstrate that two-photon interference, or photon bunching effect on a beamsplitter, does not occur if the two-photon Feynman amplitudes are distinguishable, even though individual photons do over...
متن کاملUnderstanding interference experiments with polarized light through photon trajectories
Bohmian mechanics allows to visualize and understand the quantum-mechanical behavior of massive particles in terms of trajectories. As shown by Bialynicki-Birula, Electromagnetism also admits a hydrodynamical formulation when the existence of a wave function for photons (properly defined) is assumed. This formulation thus provides an alternative interpretation of optical phenomena in terms of p...
متن کاملTwo-photon Fluorescence Light Microscopy
The invention of two-photon fluorescence light microscopy by Denk, Webb and co-workers (Denk et al., 1990) revolutionized three-dimensional (3D) in vivo imaging of cells and tissues. In 1931, the theoretical basis of twophoton excitation was established by Maria GöppertMayer, and this photophysical effect was verified experimentally by Kaiser and Garret in 1963. Two-photon excitation is a fluor...
