Intensity correlations, entanglement properties, and ghost imaging in multimode thermal-seeded parametric down-conversion: Theory

Ivo Pietro Degiovanni, Maria Bondani, Emiliano Puddu +2 more

We address parametric down-conversion seeded by multimode pseudothermal fields. We show that this process may be used to generate multimode pairwise correlated states with entanglement properties that can be tuned by controlling the seed intensities. Parametric down-conversion seeded by multimode pseudothermal fields represents a source of correlated states, which allows one to explore the classical-quantum transition in pairwise correlations and to realize ghost imaging and ghost diffraction in regimes not yet explored by experiments.

Chaotically seeded parametric downconversion for ghost imaging

Maria Bondani, Emiliano Puddu, Ivo Pietro Degiovanni +1 more

Ghost-imaging protocols rely on the properties of correlation in propagation direction and in intensity between two spatially multimode fields. We present a detailed theoretical analysis and the experimental realization and characterization of ghost imaging experiments realized with a source of entangled fields based on parametric downconversion seeded with a single multimode thermal field. Eventually, an application of ghost imaging for secure transmission of images is envisaged.

Seeded Parametric Downconversion for Quantum Ghost imaging

In this paper we propose a novel source to study the role of spatial and intensity quantum correlation in ghost imaging. By seeding a parametric down-conversion (PDC) source with a pseudo thermal source the output transforms in a two-photon field, whose correlation properties can be tuned by changing the seed field intensity and its spatial coherence. This source can be used to explore experimental configurations not covered so far by classical and quantum ghost imaging experiments.
