Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, interference measuring instrument based on light field transverse mode in the multimode waveguide comprises light source assembly 1, pattern exchange assembly 2, sensory package 3, the measurement of correlation assembly 4 that is connected, pattern exchange assembly 2 has a plurality of multimode waveguide directional couplers 5, sensory package 3 has a plurality of multimode waveguide phase-modulators 6, measurement of correlation assembly 4 has a plurality of y-branch devices 7 that are connected, photo-detector 8, difference engine 9, and a plurality of difference engines 9 are connected with correlator 10.
After the effect that a plurality of independent light fields (bundle) patterns of passing through that are in pattern stack attitude that produced by light source assembly exchange assembly 1, realized the pattern exchange between a plurality of light fields, these are through the effect of phase-modulator 8 in the sensory package 3, carried the information of phase place to be measured, these are outputed in the measurement of correlation assembly 4 then, each is through two light intensity signals of y-branch device 7 effect outputs, be input in the correlator 10 after after photo-detector 8 is converted to electric signal, utilizing difference engine 9 to subtract each other, signal to all carries out correlation analysis, can access the information of phase place to be measured from correlated results.
As shown in Figure 2, in order to demonstrate the principle of work of this interferometer, provided among the figure based on two transverse electric mode TE of two-mode waveguide
0And TE
1A kind of embodiment of interferometer.This interferometer is made of two-mode waveguide, comprises a phase-modulator and a y-branch device.Phase-modulator is equivalent to a sensing device in fact, and measured physical quantity changes the phase place of light field by it.Because TE
0Mould be the symmetry and TE
1Be antisymmetric, when two mode-coherent stack attitudes, after being projected to two waveguide outputs behind the y-branch device, two output intensities can change along with the relative phase θ between the pattern, and the pass that obtains light intensity difference and this phase place at last is I (θ)=cos θ.
In order to show the principle of work of this interferometer, we utilize difference bundle transmission method that the interferometer among Fig. 2 has been carried out computer simulation, change along with phase-modulator, the light intensity of two output waveguides of y-branch device changes thereupon, because what measure employing is general coherent source, there is noise in luminous intensity measurement, canister shot noise (shot noise) etc. for example, and the limit that can obtain this noise size according to quantum mechanics is proportional to N
-1/2(N is an average intensity).The limiting error of utilizing relation between error propagation theory and light intensity and the phase place can obtain phase measurement is N
-1/2This is based on the quantum mechanics algnment accuracy limit of the phase measurement of optical interference method realization.
We utilize difference bundle transmission method that computer simulation has been carried out in the conversion of the 5 pairs of waveguide modes of multimode waveguide directional coupler in the pattern exchange assembly 2.In order to realize that phase measurement surmounts the quantum mechanics algnment accuracy limit, we have proposed the new method that a kind of waveguide mode that utilizes classical (quantum optics thinks that the coherent light that laser instrument sends is the most approaching classical coherent state) in the multimode waveguide is realized the classical simulation of quantum entanglement.In this method, two independent classical directional coupler 5 implementation patterns exchanges that are in pattern stack attitude through a particular design, this directional coupler 5 has specific coupled zone length and spacing, when having only a pattern stack attitude input, can realize the separation of two patterns.We utilize difference bundle transmission method that the embodiment of this directional coupler has been carried out computer simulation.After two pattern stack attitudes are imported from two ports respectively, the TE of two fields of output
1Exchange has taken place in mould.
Though export two fields still is pattern stack attitude, but because two input fields are the relative phase λ that independently have random variation, therefore the pattern exchange has become mode mixture stack attitude with latter two output field, just (field is λ to the relative phase between the pattern, and another be-λ) is no longer determined.If these two fields are input in the interferometer of introducing previously, the output intensity difference that we can record two fields is respectively cos (θ
1+ λ), cos (θ
2-λ).Obviously because λ is a random variation, these two light intensity difference also are random variation.If but these two light intensity difference are correlated with, we just can obtain related function is cos (θ
1+ θ
2).If being brought in the Bell inequality can access the same with the quantum entanglement attitude, the related function of these two fields arrives destruction most, therefore we think that this pattern exchanges the classical simulation that quantum entanglement has been realized in two later classical fields, can equally with quantum entanglement show non-local character.Obviously work as θ
1=θ
2During=θ, related function is to resolution the doubling than common interferometer of phase theta.So we utilize this thinking to propose interferometer disclosed in the utility model, shown in Figure 1 is a kind of embodiment of this interferometer.In this embodiment, N is in the independent coherent field of pattern stack attitude, and (these have random phase respectively
Pattern exchange through N-1 directional coupler, the process of pattern exchange is as follows: realize the pattern exchange of two fields earlier with directional coupler, to export in two fields one then and carry out the pattern exchange with the 3rd field, to export in two fields one then again and carry out the pattern exchange, and use N-1 directional coupler to realize that N the pattern between the field exchanges so successively with the 4th field.After the pattern exchange these all are on the mode mixture stack attitude, and the relative phase between the pattern is respectively
(i=1...N-1).These are input in the interferometer (phase place to be measured is θ), obtain the output intensity difference and be respectively cos (θ+λ
i), at last these light intensity difference are correlated with, obtaining related function is cos (N θ).The same resolution to phase theta with the quantum entanglement attitude of the result of Ce Lianging has improved N doubly like this, utilizes the error propagation theory as can be known the precision of phase measurement to be improved N
-1/2Doubly, reach Heisenberg's limit N
-1(the assumed average light intensity is 1).
As shown in Figure 3, light source assembly 1 is by a plurality of separate, and interconnected coherent source 12, pattern stack attitude maker 11 constitute.Utilize the independent relevant light field of fully independently light source generation, each independent process pattern stack attitude maker becomes pattern stack attitude then.
As shown in Figure 4, light source assembly 1 has coherent source 12, the beam splitter 13 that is connected, and beam splitter 13 is connected to a plurality of phase-modulators 14 that are connected, pattern stack attitude maker 11 respectively.Obtain a plurality of light beams by coherent source through behind the beam splitter, utilize phase-modulator that each light beam is applied the random phase of an independent variation then, same then each light beam becomes pattern stack attitude through pattern stack attitude maker.The interference that this method can avoid among Fig. 3 embodiment the distribution of photons of homology light field not that measurement result is produced.
As shown in Figure 5, pattern stack attitude maker 11 has two-mode waveguide Mach-increase Dare interferometer 15, and an arm of two-mode waveguide Mach-increase in the Dare interferometer 15 has pi/2 phase modulator 16.As shown in Figure 6, pattern stack attitude maker 11 is two-mode waveguide Y type combiners 17.These two kinds of embodiment can be with light field from TE
0TE is changed in moding
0And TE
1The stack attitude on.
Those skilled in the art will be clear, can carry out various changes and improvements to the interference measuring instrument based on light field transverse mode in the multimode waveguide of the present utility model, and not break away from spirit and scope of the present utility model.Therefore, the utility model is intended to comprise the various changes and improvements that do not exceed claims scope and their equivalent.
