Aberration sensing in fluorescence microscopy using quantum correlations

Shay Elmalem, Shaurya Aarav, Allard K. F. Hübler +2

Widefield fluorescence microscopy is an essential biological imaging tool, yet its penetration depth is fundamentally restricted by tissue-induced aberrations. Correcting these req…

Spatial coherence enabled sensorless adaptive optical imaging

Pranay Mohta, Shaurya Aarav, Hugo Defienne +1

Optical aberrations degrade imaging performance in label-free microscopy, where the absence of a guide star often necessitates sensorless adaptive optics (AO). Conventional sensorl…

Noise-Resilient Imaging through Coherence Filtering

Pranay Mohta, Keval Moliya, Aniket Nag +2

Noise is a significant challenge in imaging. Conventional intensity-based techniques mitigate noise through various filtering methods, but they often require prior knowledge of noi…

Super-resolution with Fourier measurements

S. A. Wadood, Shaurya Aarav, Kevin Liang +1

Resolving sources beyond the diffraction limit is important in imaging, communications, and metrology. Current image-based methods of super-resolution require phase information (ei…

Wavefront correction of high-dimensional two-photon states via coherence-entanglement transfer

Shaurya Aarav, Hugo Defienne

Reliable transmission of quantum optical states through real-world environments is key for quantum communication and imaging. Yet, aberrations and scattering in the propagation pat…

New scattering zones in quantum speckle propagation

Shaurya Aarav, S. A. Wadood, Jason W Fleischer

Quantum speckles exhibit significantly richer behavior than their classical counterparts due to their higher dimensionality. A simple example is the far-field speckle pattern in 1D…

Phase matching in -barium borate crystals for spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Suman Karan, Shaurya Aarav, Homanga Bharadhwaj +5

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is the most widely used process for generating entangled photon pairs. In SPDC, a pump photon interacts with a nonlinear optical cryst…

Controlling propagation of spatial coherence for enhanced imaging through scattering media

Abhinandan Bhattacharjee, Shaurya Aarav, Harshawardhan Wanare +1

It is known that a spatially partially coherent light field produces better imaging contrast compared to a spatially coherent field and that the contrast increases as the spatial c…

Two-shot measurement of spatial coherence

Abhinandan Bhattacharjee, Shaurya Aarav, Anand K. Jha

We propose and demonstrate an interferometric scheme for measuring the two-dimensional two-point cross-spectral density function in a two-shot manner. Our scheme comprises a Michel…

Angular Schmidt spectrum of entangled photons: derivation of an exact formula and experimental characterization for non-collinear phase matching

Girish Kulkarni, Lavanya Taneja, Shaurya Aarav +1

We derive an exact formula for the angular Schmidt spectrum of the orbital angular momentum (OAM)-entangled states produced by parametric down-conversion (PDC). We show that our fo…

Efficient generation of propagation-invariant spatially-stationary partially coherent fields

Shaurya Aarav, Abhinandan Bhattacharjee, Harshawardhan Wanare +1

We propose and demonstrate a novel method for generating propagation-invariant spatially-stationary fields in a controllable manner. Our method relies on producing incoherent mixtu…
