The generation of microwaves from optical signals suffers from thermal and shot noise inherent in the photodetection process. This problem is more acute at lower pulse repetition rates where photodiode saturation limits the achievable…
The ultimate detection limit of optical biosensors is often limited by various noise sources, including those introduced by the optical measurement setup. While sophisticated modifications to instrumentation may reduce noise, a simpler…
Recovering both amplitude and phase information from a system is a fundamental goal of optical imaging. At the same time, it is crucial to operate at low photon doses to avoid altering the sample, particularly in biological applications.…

Noise in optical Telecom fibers is an important limitation on optical quantum data transmission. Unfortunately, the classically successful amplifiers (such as EDFA) cannot be used in quantum communication because of the no-cloning theorem.…
The performance of laser-based active sensing has been severely limited by two types of noise: electrical noise, stemming from elements; optical noise, laser jamming from an eavesdropper and background from environment. Conventional methods…

Single-shot electro-optic sampling (EOS) is a powerful method enabling the measurement of weak terahertz signals that would otherwise require prohibitively long acquisition times. This is generally achieved by encoding the EOS time delay…
