Orbital angular momentum modes of high-gain parametric down-conversion
Lina Beltran, Gaetano Frascella, Angela M. Perez +6
Light beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) are convenient carriers of quantum information. They can be also used for imparting rotational motion to particles and provide high…
Engineering the Frequency Spectrum of Bright Squeezed Vacuum via Group Velocity Dispersion in an SU(1,1) Interferometer
Samuel Lemieux, Mathieu Manceau, Polina R. Sharapova +4
Bright squeezed vacuum, a promising tool for quantum information, can be generated by high-gain parametric down-conversion. However, its frequency and angular spectra are typically…
Shaping frequency correlations of ultrafast pulse-pumped modulational instability in gas-filled hollow-core PCF
Martin A. Finger, Nicolas Y. Joly, Philip St. J. Russell +1
We vary the time-frequency mode structure of ultrafast pulse-pumped modulational instability (MI) twin beams in an argon-filled hollow-core kagomé-style PCF by adjusting the pressu…
Autonomous absolute calibration of an ICCD camera in single-photon detection regime
Luo Qi, Felix Just, Gerd Leuchs +1
Intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) cameras are widely used in various applications such as microscopy, astronomy, spectroscopy. Often they are used as single-photon detectors…
Conditionally generating a mesoscopic superposition of N00N states
Falk Töppel, Maria V. Chekhova, Gerd Leuchs
We study the generation of superpositions of N00N states by overlapping few-photon-subtracted squeezed vacuum states and coherent states on a 50/50 beam splitter. Assuming paramete…
Improving the phase super-sensitivity of squeezing-assisted interferometers by squeeze factor unbalancing
Mathieu Manceau, Farid Khalili, Maria Chekhova
The sensitivity properties of an SU(1,1) interferometer made of two cascaded parametric amplifiers, as well as of an ordinary SU(2) interferometer preceded by a squeezer and follow…
