Robust interferometric sensing using two-photon interference
arXiv:2005.05263 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.14.024028
Abstract
Precise measurement of the angular deviation of an object is a common task in science and technology. Many methods use light for this purpose. Some of these exploit interference effects to achieve technological advantages, such as amplification effects, or simplified measurement devices. However, all of these schemes require phase stability to be useful. Here we show theoretically and experimentally that this drawback can be lifted by utilizing two-photon interference, which is known to be less sensitive to phase fluctuations. Our results show that non-classical interference can provide a path towards robust interferometric sensing, allowing for increased metrological precision in the presence of phase noise.
