AI中文摘要:
我们展示了一种基于种子注入SU(1,1)干涉仪的傅里叶域光学相干断层扫描(FD-OCT)。使用中心波长为1550nm的宽带光探测多层物体,从中心波长为810nm的光子通量测量中重建深度分辨的三维图像。我们表明,在低参量增益区域,种子注入会增加光子通量,使得可以使用光谱仪而非单光子探测器进行体积成像。我们的分析进一步显示,在所考虑的条件下,种子注入比提高参量增益提供了更有效的灵敏度增强途径。
英文摘要:
We demonstrate Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) based on a seeded SU(1,1) interferometer. Multilayer objects are probed with broadband light centered at 1550nm, while depth-resolved 3D images are reconstructed from photon flux measurements centered at 810nm. We show that, in the low parametric-gain regime, seeding increases the photon flux, enabling volumetric imaging with a spectrometer rather than single-photon detectors. Our analysis further shows that, under the conditions considered, seeding provides a more effective route to sensitivity enhancement than increasing the parametric gain.
