Maximally Entangled Mixed-State Generation via Local Operations
A. Aiello, G. Puentes, D. Voigt +1
We present a general theoretical method to generate maximally entangled mixed states of a pair of photons initially prepared in the singlet polarization state. This method requires…
Entangled mixed-state generation by twin-photon scattering
G. Puentes, D. Voigt, A. Aiello +1
We report experimental results on mixed-state generation by multiple scattering of polarization-entangled photon pairs created from parametric down-conversion. By using a large var…
Role of spatial coherence in polarization tomography
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
We analyze an experimental setup in which a quasi-monochromatic spatially coherent beam of light is used to probe a paraxial optical scatterer. We discuss the effect of the spatial…
Physical Bounds to the Entropy-Depolarization Relation in Random Light Scattering
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
We present a theoretical study of multi-mode scattering of light by optically random media, using the Mueller-Stokes formalism which permits to encode all the polarization properti…
Intrinsic Entanglement Degradation by Multi-Mode Detection
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
Relations between photon scattering, entanglement and multi-mode detection are investigated. We first establish a general framework in which one- and two-photon elastic scattering…
Ray splitting in paraxial optical cavities
G. Puentes, A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
We present a numerical investigation of the ray dynamics in a paraxial optical cavity when a ray splitting mechanism is present. The cavity is a conventional two-mirror stable reso…
