Abstract We theoretically explore the angular rotation measurement sensitivity of SU(1,1) interferometers with a coherent beam and a vacuum beam input by using orbital angular momentum (OAM). Compared with the OAM in an SU(2) interferometer, the SU(1,1) interferometer employing homodyne detection can further surpass the angular rotation shot noise limit 1 2 l N and improve the resolution and sensitivity of angular rotation measurement. Two models are considered, one is that OAM is carried by a probe beam and the other one is a pump beam with the OAM. The sensitivity can be improved by higher OAM and nonlinear process with a large gain. The resolution can be enhanced in the case that the pump beam has OAM. Moreover, we present a brief discussion on the variation of resolution and sensitivity in the presence of photon loss.

Improvement of angular rotation measurement resolution and sensitivity based on an SU(1,1) interferometer with intensity sum detection

Yuanxiang Wang, Shuzhen Li, Youyou Hu +2 more

Abstract In order to realize the enhancement of angular rotation measurement sensitivity, a new scheme based on an SU(1,1) interferometer with intensity sum detection has been proposed. A coherent beam carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) enters into the SU(1,1) interferometer where the Dove prisms are inserted. By taking full advantage of the two outports and employing intensity sum detection, the angular rotation measurement sensitivity can be enhanced by higher gain, photon number and OAM. Meanwhile, resolution can be improved while the pump beam carries OAM. The angular rotation measurement sensitivity of the SU(1,1) interferometer can beat standard quantum limit 1 / ( 2 l N ), and it still can be optimal when photon depletion inside this interferometer is the same.

Ultra-sensitive and super-resolving angular rotation measurement based on photon orbital angular momentum using parity measurement

Zijing Zhang, Tianyuan Qiao, Kun Ma +4 more

Photon orbital angular momentum has led to many novel insights and applications in quantum measurement. Photon orbital angular momentum can increase the resolution and sensitivity of angular rotation measurement. However, quantum measurement strategy can further surpass this limit and improve the resolution of angular rotation measurement. This Letter proposes and demonstrates a parity measurement method in angular rotation measurement scheme for the first time. Parity measurement can make the resolution superior to the limit of the existing method. The sensitivity can be improved with higher orbital angular momentum photons. Moreover, this Letter gives a detailed discussion of the change of resolution and sensitivity in the presence of photon loss.
