Abstract
A new method for high efficiency interaction-free measurement is presented. Selective transmission of multiple beam interference is used to generate a continuous wave target beam with an irradiance level ~1% that of a reference beam. When the target beam is unobstructed by a potentially interposed object, the resultant measured interference visibility of 0.86 with the reference beam significantly exceeds the classically predicted irradiance-based visibility of 0.17 and provides a methodology for ~100% interaction-free measurement with a continuous wave beam.
