Quantum ghost polarimetry with entangled photons

Sergey Magnitskiy, Dmitriy Agapov, Anatoly Chirkin

The theory of the formation of polarization ghost images in biphoton light of spontaneous parametric scattering is developed. On the basis of the developed theory, the quantum ghost polarimetry concept has been suggested, which makes it possible to obtain two-dimensional maps of the polarization properties of objects by measuring a set of correlation functions obtained in various polarization states of photons. For objects with linear dichroism, a complete set of measurement states is found, which allows for obtaining the maps of the distributions of absorption, value, and azimuth of anisotropy.

Ghost polarimetry based on entangled quantum states

D. P. Agapov, I. A. Belovolov, Sergey A Magnitskiy +1 more

The first experimental implementation of ghost polarimetry using quantum light is presented. The object is irradiated by one of the photons of an entangled pair generated by SPDC source. Objects whose polarization properties can be interpreted as linear dichroism are used. The coincidence counting technique is used to measure the distribution of the polarization properties of the object.

We report on the imaging of transparent objects having spatially varying phases with Ghost imaging. We use photons generated from spontaneous parametric down-conversion and exploit projective measurements constructed as superposition states of pixel/position-like states.

Single-shot quantitative quantum ghost polarimetric imaging

Jiung Kim, Jeeseong Hwang, Martin Y. Sohn

We present a single-shot quantum ghost polarimetry technique for quantitative birefringence imaging by replacing multi-orientation polarization sampling with a parallel four-analyzer readout. A single gated exposure yields a 2×2 mosaic of polarization-resolved ghost images whose relative intensities furnish the observables for per-pixel retardance and fast-axis retrieval. Idler photons of polarization-entangled biphotons probe a birefringent pattern and signal photons are routed to four analyzer channels and imaged by an intensified sCMOS as a simultaneous 2×2 mosaic. Relative intensities across the mosaic yield per-pixel retardance and fast-axis orientation. The multiplexed, correlation-based readout supports real-time, low-photon flux polarimetric microscopy and metrology of birefringence.
