Abstract

We image an object solely illuminated with squeezed vacuum by analyzing the quantum noise statistics and show how the quality of the image is linked to the squeezing mode size and detection area.

Imaging with Squeezed Vacuum

We image objects in the path of squeezed vacuum, by analyzing spatial-quantum noise statistics. Visibility and resolution of the image are linked to the squeezing mode size and the area of analyzed spatial correlations.

We propose a method to measure the noise in squeezed light field. We analyze appropriate spatial correlations using quantum imaging, and reduce the effect of pump fluctuations that override the quantum statistics of the field.

Spatial squeezing and super-resolution in optical imaging

Mikhail I. Kolobov, Claude Fabre

Summary form only given. To achieve super-resolution one must take into account a priori information about localization of the object. Such an a priori information exists in the case of an object of finite size. Its Fourier transform located in the focal plane of the lens is an entire analytic function, and analytic continuation of the object spectrum outside the spatial-frequency band allows for unlimited resolution. However such a super-resolution is extremely sensitive to the noise in the detected image. The ultimate limit of super-resolution is determined by the quantum fluctuations of light in the detection plane. We present the quantum theory of super-resolution for a one-dimensional coherent optical imaging scheme and discuss possibilities of improving the resolution limit by using multimode squeezed light. For quantum-mechanical description of this scheme we take into account the vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in the input plane outside the object. Interference of these vacuum fluctuations with the field amplitude of the object in the detection plane is the origin of the standard quantum limit or shot noise of photodetection in the image. To go beyond this limit we suggest to illuminate the object with multimode squeezed light having the spot size much larger than the object area. Then the vacuum fluctuations outside the object can be effectively suppressed resulting in sub-shot-noise detection of the image.

Low-Light Shadow Imaging using Quantum-Noise Detection with a Camera

Savannah L. Cuozzo, Pratik J. Barge, Nikunjkumar Prajapati +5 more

We experimentally demonstrate an imaging technique based on quantum noise modification after interaction with an opaque object. By using a homodyne-like detection scheme, we eliminate the detrimental effect of the camera's dark noise, making this approach particularly attractive for imaging scenarios that require weak illumination. Here, we reconstruct the image of an object illuminated with a squeezed vacuum using a total of 800 photons, utilizing less than one photon per frame on average.
