Description

Two-photon correlation-based coherent vortex topological charge measurement method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for measuring coherent vortex topological charge based on two-photon correlation, and belongs to the field of quantum sensing.
Technical Field
The vortex beam is a special optical field with a spiral phase wavefront and the phase distribution function of the optical field is exp (il theta), and each photon of the optical field carries a specific orbital angular momentumWhere l is called the topological charge and θ is the azimuth. For partially coherent light with poor coherence, there is generally no optical vortex with zero intensity, but there is a coherent vortex with zero spectral coherence or mutual coherence function. The topological charge of the coherent vortex has important application prospect in optical tweezers, laser communication and quantum cryptography systems. Orbital angular momentum state | l of photon&With completeness, orthogonality and infinite dimensions, which has been demonstrated as an effective degree of freedom for application as high-dimensional hilbert space quantum information (see academic papers Franke-Arnold S, allen L, padgett m.advances in optical and regular expression. Laser Photon Rev 2008 2.
Two-photon entanglement means that two photons are not in a localized form, and when one of the photons is changed, the other photon is correspondingly changed under any condition. Entangled bifocal wavelets, which are quantum morphological coherent functions, can be used to reflect coherent vortices in the two-photon entangled state (see academic paper Li-garg Wang et al, ABCD law of two-mode Gaussian-oriented light fields in optical Communications 284 (2011) 5860-5865). Two-photon correlation imaging is a novel imaging mechanism which utilizes quantum entanglement characteristic of a light source to obtain diffraction images of an object in a light path without the object. Such correlated imaging, also known as ghost imaging, is now widely used in the fields of distributed image processing, distributed perception and communications.
The current methods for measuring the topological charge of the optical vortex mainly comprise the following steps: interferometry and diffraction. When the coherence of the light source is reduced, the interference method cannot accurately judge the topological charge value. When the light source topological charge value is large, the resolving power of the diffraction method is reduced. In addition, the above two methods employ pseudo-thermal laser as a light source. The improvement of the accuracy of the measurement signal is seriously restricted by the thermal noise of the light source, so that the vortex topological information of the light source is difficult to accurately identify on the single photon level.

(4) Controlling a computer to enable i photons passing through the spatial light modulator to obtain specific amplitude and phase, then coupling an optical signal to a single-mode optical fiber, and carrying out single-point measurement by using an avalanche diode;
(5) Performing correlation calculation on the two paths of measured optical signals and recording the correlation calculation by using a computer;
(6) By changing the transmission coefficient l of the spatial light modulator on the light path where the i photon is located, the transmission coefficient corresponding to the maximum value in the output values is the vortex topological charge value of the s photon.
