Abstract

Quantum fluctuations limit the accuracy of wavefront characterization in unprepared states to one photon per mode. Here we describe the optical design and system performance of wavefront sensors that approach this limit. Full-text article not available; see video presentation

We describe a wavefront sensor that is asymptotically quantum-optimal in the limit of small phase error. The sensor could be used with an adaptive optics system to sense residual errors when in closed loop.

Quantum Optical Sensing: Single Mode, Multi-Mode, and Continuous Time

Jeffrey H. Shapiro

Quantum limits on optics-based precision measurements are described, contrasting single-mode, multi-mode, and continuous-time paradigms. The latter suggests that 1/N, where N is the measurement’s average photon number, is not the ultimate quantum limit on precision.
