Maximum-likelihood image estimation using photon-correlated beams
A theory is presented addressing the fundamental limits of image estimation in a setup that uses two photon-correlated beams. These beams have the property that their photon arrivals, as a point process, are ideally synchronized in time and space. The true image represents the spatial distribution of the optical transmittance (or reflectance) of an object. In this setup, one beam is used to pro...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of photon number distribution from homodyne statistics
An interesting application of the homodyne detection is the measurement of phase–insensitive properties of optical fields, dependent on the photon number distribution [1]. The homodyne technique goes beyond the current limitations of direct photodetection. First, ultrafast sampling time can be achieved by using the local oscillator field in the form of a short pulse. Secondly, information on th...
متن کاملTargeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation using Exponential Families.
Targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) is a general method for estimating parameters in semiparametric and nonparametric models. The key step in any TMLE implementation is constructing a sequence of least-favorable parametric models for the parameter of interest. This has been done for a variety of parameters arising in causal inference problems, by augmenting standard regression models ...
متن کاملReduction of quantum noise in transmittance estimation using photon-correlated beams
The accuracy of optical measurements at low light levels is limited by the quantum noise of the source and by the random nature of the interaction with the measured object. The source noise may be reduced by use of nonclassical photon-number squeezed light. We consider the use of two photon-correlated beams (generated, for example, by spontaneous parametric downconversion) to measure the optica...
متن کاملMaximum-likelihood attitude estimation using GPS signals
The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for a vehicle’s attitude using signals received from GPS satellites is derived in this paper. A statistical model of the measured phase double-differences is developed to form the likelihood function. The attitude is represented by a rotation matrix, a member of the group of 3×3 special orthogonal matrices. A steepest descent-like maximization algorithm is...
