Spatially Noiseless Optical Amplification of Images
A. Mosset, F. Devaux, Éric Lantz
We present the first experimental demonstration of noiseless amplification of images, where noise refers to spatial quantum fluctuations on the pixels of single shot images. Phase-sensitive and phase-insensitive schemes are compared and the noise figures are in good agreement with theory, inasmuch this theory includes the quantum efficiency of the whole system and the pixel size.
