Recent advances in optical imaging and communication increasingly involve high-dimensional, partially coherent light, creating a growing need for scalable tools to measure and manipulate coherence. Here, we demonstrate the automatic…
In absence of a lens to form an image, incoherent or partially coherent light scattering off an obstructive or reflective object forms a broad intensity distribution in the far field with only feeble spatial features. We show here that…
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that a coherent image of a pure phase object may be obtained by use of a spatially incoherent illumination beam. This is accomplished by employing a two-beam source of entangled photons…
A coherent, short-length reference arm reflectometer, which utilizes a 76-MHz repetition rate mode-locked fiber laser, was investigated experimentally for long fiber links (> 10 km). The reflectometer combines the advantages of optical…
Pairing coherent correlation OTDR with low-complexity analysis methods, we investigate the detection of fast temperature changes and vibrations in optical fibers. A localization accuracy of ~2 m and extraction of vibration amplitudes and…
In this paper, we show how the combined use of low coherence interferometry, balanced detection and data processing comparable to that used in Fourier transform spectrometry allows us to characterize with ultimate resolutions (sub-ppm in…
Highest resolution laser spectroscopy has generally been limited to single trapped ion systems due to rapid decoherence which plagues neutral atom ensembles. Here, precision spectroscopy of ultracold neutral atoms confined in a trapping…
In this report the decoherence sources for entangled photons created by spontaneous parametric down conversion phenomenon is studied. The phase and spatial distinguishability of photon pairs from orthogonal crystals reduce the maximum…
We put forward an experimental configuration to observe transverse Anderson localization of partially coherent light beams with a tunable degree of first-order coherence. The scheme makes use of entangled photons propagating in disordered…
Reflection measurements give access to the complex impedance of a material on a wide frequency range. This is of interest to study the dynamical properties of various materials, for instance disordered superconductors. However reflection…
We explain and demonstrate a new method of force- and position-calibration for optical tweezers with back-focal-plane photo detection. The method combines power spectral measurements of thermal motion and the response to a sinusoidal motion…
This paper investigates a case study on measuring and controlling the first-order degree of spatial coherence under different coupling adjustments in the storage ring. The experimental findings are consistent with the predicted inverse…
Recent experimental progress in quantum optics has enabled measurement of single photons on ultrafast timescales, beyond the resolution limit of single photon detectors. The energy-time degree of freedom has emerged as a promising avenue…
This paper shows a novel method to precisely measure the laser power using an optomechanical system. By measuring a mirror displacement caused by the reflection of an amplitude modulated laser beam, the number of photons in the incident…
We describe a self calibrating optical technique that allows to perform absolute measurements of scattering cross sections for the light scattered at extremely small angles. Very good performances are obtained by using a very simple optical…
Properties of entangled photon pairs generated in spontaneous parametric down-conversion are investigated in interference experiments. Strong energy correlations are demonstrated in a direct way. If a signal photon is detected behind a…
The recent years have given rise to a large number of techniques for "looking around corners", i.e., for reconstructing occluded objects from time-resolved measurements of indirect light reflections off a wall. While the direct view of…
In the maintenance of optical fiber networks, there is a growing demand for high-precision measurement of optical loss distribution and fault locations over long distances. In this study, we propose an OCDR method incorporating periodic…
Ellipsometry is a powerful and well-established optical technique used in the characterisation of materials. It works by combining the components of elliptically polarized light in order to draw information about the optical system. We…
The aim of this review paper is to enlighten some recent progresses in quantum optical metrology in the part of quantum efficiency measurements of photo-detectors performed with bi-photon states. The intrinsic correlated nature of entangled…
