Sum-frequency-based photon-number-resolving detector for telecom wavelengths
Silvia Cassina, Alex Pozzoli, Guglielmo Vesco +3
The use of C-band wavelengths in the field of quantum communication has grown significantly, driving the need for versatile detection solutions, especially in the low intensity dom…
Assessing a binary quantum channel exploiting a Silicon photomultiplier based hybrid receiver
Alberto Sanvito, Silvia Cassina, Marco Lamperti +3
In quantum communication protocols, the use of photon-number-resolving detectors could open new perspectives by broadening the way to encode and decode information, and merging the…
On the use of superthermal light for imaging applications
Silvia Cassina, Gabriele Cenedese, Marco Lamperti +2
Ghost imaging and differential ghost imaging are well-known imaging techniques based on the use of both classical and quantum correlated states of light. Since the existence of cor…
Luminescence-induced noise in single photon sources based on BBO crystals
Radek Machulka, Karel Lemr, Ondřej Haderka +3
Single-photon sources based on the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion play a key role in various applied disciplines of quantum optics. We characterize intrinsic lum…
Spatial properties of twin-beam correlations at low- to high-intensity transition
Radek Machulka, Ondrej Haderka, Jan Perina +3
It is shown that spatial correlation functions measured for correlated photon pairs at the single-photon level correspond to speckle patterns visible at high intensities. This corr…
Characterizing the non-classicality of mesoscopic optical twin-beam states
Alessia Allevi, Marco Lamperti, Maria Bondani +4
We present a robust tool to analyze nonclassical properties of multimode twin-beam states in the mesoscopic photon-number domain. The measurements are performed by direct detection…
Optimal sub-Poissonian light generation from twin beams by photon-number resolving detectors
Marco Lamperti, Alessia Allevi, Maria Bondani +4
We generate nonclassical conditional states by exploiting the quantum correlations of multi-mode twin-beam states endowed with a sizeable number of photons. A strong relation betwe…
