Quantum - or classically correlated - light can be employed in various ways to improve resolution and measurement sensitivity. In an "interaction-free" measurement, a single photon can be used to reveal the presence of an object placed…

We consider a modification of the classical ghost imaging scheme where an image of the research object is formed and acquired in the object arm. It is used alongside the ghost image to produce an estimate of the transmittance distribution…

The production of pairs of entangled photons simply by focusing a laser beam onto a crystal with a non-linear optical response was used to test quantum mechanics and to open new approaches in imaging. The development of the latter was…

Ghost imaging (GI) forms images from intensity-correlation data collected by a single-pixel detector, decoupling illumination and sensing. Since its quantum-photon origins, the technique has evolved through classical pseudothermal,…

We demonstrate experimentally ghost optical coherence tomography using a broadband incoherent supercontinuum light source with shot-to-shot random spectral fluctuations. The technique is based on ghost imaging in the spectral domain where…

The long time consumption is a bottleneck for the applicability of the ghost imaging (GI). By introducing a criterion for the convergence of GI, we investigate a factor that impacts on the convergence speed of it. Based on computer…
