Near-video frame rate quantum sensing using Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry

Sandeep Singh, Vimlesh Kumar, Varun Sharma +2

Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference, the bunching of two indistinguishable photons on a balanced beam-splitter, has emerged as a promising tool for quantum sensing. There is a need f…

High-power, continuous-wave, tunable mid-IR, higher-order vortex beam optical parametric oscillator

A. Aadhi, Varun Sharma, G. K. Samanta

We report on a novel experimental scheme to generate continuous-wave (cw), high power, and higher-order optical vortices tunable across mid-IR wavelength range. Using cw, two-cryst…
