Non-mechanical steering of the optical beam in spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography

Daniel F. Urrego, Gerard J. Machado, Juan P. Torres

We demonstrate in a {\it proof-of-concept} experiment spectral-domain optical coherence tomography where steering of the optical beam that probes the sample in a transverse scan do…

Complementarity relationship between coherence and path distinguishability in an interferometer based on induced coherence

Gerard J. Machado, Lluc Sendra, Adam Vallés +1

We consider an interferometer based on the concept of induced coherence, where two photons that originate in different second-order nonlinear crystals can interfere. We derive a co…

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography based on nonlinear interferometers

Arturo Rojas-Santana, Gerard J. Machado, Maria V. Chekhova +2

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a 3D imaging technique that was introduced in 1991 [Science 254, 1178 (1991); Applied Optics 31, 919 (1992)]. Since 2018 there has been growin…

Optical Coherence Tomography with a nonlinear interferometer in the high parametric gain regime

Gerard J. Machado, Gaetano Frascella, Juan P. Torres +1

We demonstrate optical coherence tomography based on an SU(1,1) nonlinear interferometer with high-gain parametric down-conversion. For imaging and sensing applications, this schem…

Frequency correlation requirements on the biphoton wavefunction in an induced coherence experiment between separate sources

Arturo Rojas-Santana, Gerard J. Machado, Dorilian Lopez-Mago +1

There is renewed interest in using the coherence between beams generated in separate down-converter sources for new applications in imaging, spectroscopy, microscopy and optical co…

Knotting fractional-order knots with the polarization state of light

Emilio Pisanty, Gerard J. Machado, Verónica Vicuña-Hernández +4

The fundamental polarization singularities of monochromatic light are normally associated with invariance under coordinated rotations: symmetry operations that rotate the spatial d…
