Simultaneously precise estimations of phase and amplitude variations based on weak-value amplification

Lan E Luo, Linguo Xie, Jiangdong Qiu +6 more

In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally present a precision method to simultaneously estimate the phase and amplitude variations of light based on the weak-value amplification. We demonstrate that the imaginary and real components of the weak-value correspond to the amplification of the phase and amplitude variations, respectively. If both the phase and the amplitude are varied, the phase measurement using the imaginary weak-value is not influenced by the amplitude shift and the amplitude measurement using the real weak value is not influenced by the phase shift. Thus, the tiny changes of the phase and amplitude of light can be obtained simultaneously with different post-selections, and the measurement precision reaches ∼10−6 rad. These findings may be favorable for highly sensitive optical polarization-dependent effects, including optical activity and magneto-optic effects.

Realization of ultra-small stress birefringence detection with weak-value amplification technique

Yongsheng Wang, Shizhen Chen, Shuangchun Wen +1 more

How to realize the detection of tiny birefringence is an important but challenging issue for investigations and applications in optics. In weak measurements, weak-value amplification has been widely applied to the precise estimation of time delay. Here, we show that the linear amplification in weak measurements has the potential to outperform standard weak-value amplification for ultra-small parameter characterization. The higher measurement accuracy in the linear amplification enables us to achieve a measurement of stress-induced birefringence with a high resolution of 5×10−10. Compared with existing methods, the accuracy based on weak measurements for birefringence detection can improve two orders of magnitude. Our method may have important applications in a variety of fields involving the precise measurement of time delay or birefringence.
