چکیده
Power-Recycled Weak-Value-Based Metrology Report Title We improve the precision of the interferometric weak-value-based beam deflection measurement by introducing a power recycling mirror, creating a resonant cavity. This results in all the light exiting to the detector with a large deflection, thus eliminating the inefficiency of the rare postselection. The signal-tonoise ratio of the deflection is itself magnified by the weak value. We discuss ways to realize this proposal, using a transverse beam filter and different cavity designs.

متن کاملInterferometric weak value deflections: Quantum and classical treatments
Weak values [1] have presented or inspired intriguing possibilities for precision measurement. A recent example is by Hosten and Kwiat [2], where they were able to amplify the deflections arising from the spin Hall effect of light. The light fields used in their experiment, as well as in Ref. [3], were coherent quasiclassical fields and no apparent quantum mechanical system was employed in eith...
متن کاملUltrasensitive beam deflection measurement via interferometric weak value amplification.
We report on the use of an interferometric weak value technique to amplify very small transverse deflections of an optical beam. By entangling the beam's transverse degrees of freedom with the which-path states of a Sagnac interferometer, it is possible to realize an optical amplifier for polarization independent deflections. The theory for the interferometric weak value amplification method is...
متن کاملEnhancing metrology sensitivity by weak measurements
Quantummechanics imposes strict limits on the precision attainable for various sets of measurements. Understanding the fundamental principles of these restrictions enables the realization of metrology schemes that can fully exploit available resources, resulting in significant improvement of both classical and quantum measurements. Quantum photonic resources can be employed for novel metrology ...
متن کاملTechnical Advantages for Weak-Value Amplification: When Less Is More
The technical merits of weak-value-amplification techniques are analyzed. We consider models of several different types of technical noise in an optical context and show that weak-value-amplification techniques (which only use a small fraction of the photons) compare favorably with standard techniques (which use all of them). Using the Fisher-information metric, we demonstrate that weak-value t...
