Absolute efficiency estimation of photon-number-resolving detectors using twin beams.
A nonclassical light source is used to demonstrate experimentally the absolute efficiency calibration of a photon-number-resolving detector. The photon-pair detector calibration method developed by Klyshko for single-photon detectors is generalized to take advantage of the higher dynamic range and additional information provided by photon-number-resolving detectors. This enables the use of brig...
متن کاملConstrained MaxLik reconstruction of multimode photon distributions
We address the reconstruction of the full photon distribution of multimode fields generated by seeded parametric down-conversion (PDC). Our scheme is based on on/off avalanche photodetection assisted by maximum-likelihood (MaxLik) estimation and does not involve photon counting. We present a novel constrained MaxLik method that incorporates the request of finite energy to improve the rate of co...
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 کاملSingle-beam noise characteristics of quantum correlated twin beams
We investigated the intensity noise spectra of the single beam of a pumpenhanced continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillator (OPO), which was used to generate quantum correlated twin beams, as a function of the pump power. With a triply (pump-, signal-, and idler-) resonant cavity, the oscillation threshold of our OPO was about 8.5±1.3 mW and the measured slope conversion efficiency was ...
متن کاملReconstruction of the wave function from the photon number and quantum phase distributions∗
The problem of a reconstruction of relative phases in the one-mode photon wave function from a given photon number distribution and the modulus of the wave function in the phase representation is solved for the case of a finite superposition of Fock states. The solution involves two independent numerical algorithms both based on a Fourier transform from the occupation number representation to t...
