Ghost imaging with intense fields from chaotically-seeded parametric downconversion

Abstract

We present the first experimental demonstration of ghost imaging realized with intense beams generated by a parametric downconversion interaction seeded with pseudo-thermal light. As expected, the real image of the object is reconstructed satisfying the thin-lens equation. We show that the experimental visibility of the reconstructed image is in accordance with the theoretically expected one.

A slightly revised version will appear on OPT. LETT
