Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a near-infrared imaging scheme based on induced quantum coherence in nondegenerate parametric down conversion, while obtain high-quality images of interdigital electrode and silicon chip even in strong background noise.

Controlling induced coherence for quantum imaging

Mikhail I. Kolobov, Enno Giese, Samuel Lemieux +2 more

Induced coherence in parametric down-conversion between two coherently pumped nonlinear crystals that share a common idler mode can be used as an imaging technique. Based on the interference between the two signal modes of the crystals, an image can be reconstructed. By obtaining an expression for the interference pattern that is valid in both the low- and the high-gain regimes of parametric down-conversion, we show how the coherence of the light emitted by the two crystals can be controlled. With our comprehensive analysis we provide deeper insight into recent discussions about the application of induced coherence to imaging in different regimes. Moreover, we propose a scheme for optimizing the visibility of the interference pattern so that it directly corresponds to the degree of coherence of the light generated in the two crystals. We find that this scheme leads in the high-gain regime to a visibility arbitrarily close to unity.

High-gain nonlinear interferometry (NLI) is useful for measuring small mid-infrared transmission changes in lossy samples by detecting near-infrared light. We experimentally reach a parametric down-conversion gain of ~ 3 and will present progress towards NLI imaging.
