Imaging in turbid media using quasi-ballistic photons
We study by means of experiments and Monte Carlo simulations, the scattering of light in random media, to determine the distance upto which photons travel along almost undeviated paths within a scattering medium, and are therefore capable of casting a shadow of an opaque inclusion embedded within the medium. Such photons are isolated by polarisation discrimination wherein the plane of linear po...
متن کاملPolarization Gating Autocorrelator
We have developed a portable, motorized, multi-shot, third-order autocorrelator capable of measuring the time width of a large bandwidth pulse with femtosecond acuracy. Here we give a detailed description of the device and report measurements made in the Pegasus laboratory on a Coherent Legend Elite laser system, generating a short pulse, (IR) λ = 800nm E < 3mJ , and a frequency tripled pulse, ...
متن کاملBroadband source of polarization entangled photons.
A broadband source of polarization entangled photons based on type-II spontaneous parametric down conversion from a chirped PPKTP crystal is presented. With numerical simulation and experimental evaluation, we report a source of broadband polarization entangled states with a bandwidth of approximately 125 nm for use in quantum interferometry. The technique has the potential to become a basis fo...
متن کاملUltrabright source of polarization-entangled photons
Using the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a two-crystal geometry, we have generated a source of polarization-entangled photon pairs that is more than ten times brighter, per unit of pump power, than previous sources, with another factor of 30 to 75 expected to be readily achievable. We have measured a high level of entanglement between photons emitted over a relatively larg...
متن کاملOptimizing type-I polarization-entangled photons.
Optical quantum information processing needs ultra-bright sources of entangled photons, especially from synchronizable femtosecond lasers and low-cost cw-diode lasers. Decoherence due to timing information and spatial mode-dependent phase has traditionally limited the brightness of such sources. We report on a variety of methods to optimize type-I polarization-entangled sources--the combined us...
