摘要:

我们从实验和理论上证明了利用空间非相干照明光束可以获得纯相位物体的相干像。这是通过采用自发参量下转换产生的纠缠光子的双光束源来实现的。虽然每个光束本身是空间不相干的,但这对光束表现出更高阶的光束间相干性。其中一个光束探测相位物体,而另一个光束被扫描。通过使用光子计数探测器测量每个光束中的光子符合率来记录图像。使用反射配置,我们成功地对由MEMS微镜阵列实现的相位物体进行了成像。实验结果与理论预测一致。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that a coherent image of a pure phase object may be obtained by use of a spatially incoherent illumination beam. This is accomplished by employing a two-beam source of entangled photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Though each of the beams is, in and of itself, spatially incoherent, the pair of beams exhibits higher-order inter-beam coherence. One of the beams probes the phase object while the other is scanned. The image is recorded by measuring the photon coincidence rate using a photon-counting detector in each beam. Using a reflection configuration, we successfully imaged a phase object implemented by a MEMS micro-mirror array. The experimental results are in accord with theoretical predictions.
