We develop a novel technique to measure small angular and lateral displacements of structured light beams. The technique relies on using high-order Hermite-Gaussian (HG) and Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes, which have well-defined symmetry…
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method to directly measure the phase of biphoton states using an entangled mode as a collinear reference. The technique is demonstrated with entangled photonic spatial modes in the…
Off-axis digital holography is used to align a few-mode fiber to a multi-mode fiber in a free-space optical setup. Alignment based on power coupling measurements alone cannot guarantee low mode-dependent loss. The proposed alignment method…
We show how to detect and quantify entanglement of atoms in optical lattices in terms of correlations functions of the momentum distribution. These distributions can be measured directly in the experiments. We introduce two kinds of…
We describe a technique to measure the position of a dipolar scatterer based on self-homodyne detection of the scattered light. The method can theoretically reach the Heisenberg limit, at which information gained about the position is…
Entangled-photon coincidence imaging is a method to nonlocally image an object by transmitting a pair of entangled photons through the object and a reference optical system, respectively. The image of the object can be extracted from the…
We experimentally test a recently proposed holographic method for imaging coherent light scatterers which are distributed over a 2-dimensional grid. In our setup the scatterers consist of a back-illuminated, opaque mask with submicron-sized…
Using the 2MASS Photometric Redshift catalogue we perform a number of statistical tests aimed at detecting possible departures from statistical homogeneity and isotropy in the large-scale structure of the Universe. Making use of the angular…
Optical multi-mode systems provide large scale Hilbert spaces that can be accessed and controlled using single photon sources, linear optics and photon detection. Here, we consider the bipartite entanglement generated by coherently…
Displacement estimation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is relevant for several potential applications, e.g. for optical coherence elastography (OCE) for corneal biomechanical characterization. Larger displacements may be…
Estimating position and orientation change of a mobile platform from two consecutive point clouds provided by a high-resolution sensor is a key problem in autonomous navigation. In particular, scan matching algorithms aim to find the…
This note describes the analytical derivation of the response of bullseye detectors to optical beats between higher-order spatial modes of the Laguerre-Gauss form, and subsequently the Hermite-Gauss form. Also included is a comparison with…
This article presents an optimization method to find the most spatially concentrated basis of a multimode fiber, obtained by minimizing the sum of the spatial spreads of the individual modes over all unitary transformations of a given…
We explore the use of higher-order Hermite-Gauss modes for sensing optically induced transverse displacements. In the small-displacement regime, we show that projective measurements onto the two neighboring spatial modes yield optimal…
Relative astrometric shifts between multiply lensed images provide a valuable tool to investigate haloes in the intergalactic space. In strong lens systems in which a single lens plays the primary role in producing multiple images, the…
We propose an approach for estimating the relative pose between calibrated image pairs by jointly exploiting points, lines, and their coincidences in a hybrid manner. We investigate all possible configurations where these data modalities…
The Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) of light has been at the center of several classical and quantum applications for imaging, information processing and communication. However, the complex structure inherent in OAM states makes their…
In this work we provide a detailed theoretical and experimental analysis of the two-photon Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) entangled state, generated by a type-I Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) process, when decomposed in terms…
We calculate the relative amplitude of orbital angular momentum (OAM) entangled photon pairs from the spontaneous parametric down conversion. The results show that the amplitude depends on both the two Laguerre indices l, p. We also discuss…
We develop a novel method to explore the galaxy-halo connection using the galaxy imaging surveys by modeling the projected two-point correlation function measured from the galaxies with reasonable photometric redshift measurements. By…
