We present a robust imaging method based on time-correspondence imaging and normalized ghost imaging (GI) that sets two thresholds to select the reference frame exposures for image reconstruction. This double-threshold time-correspondence imaging protocol always gives better quality and signal-to-noise ratio than previous GI schemes, and is insensitive to surrounding noise. Moreover, only simple add and minus operations are required while less data storage space and computing time are consumed, thus faster imaging speeds are attainable. The protocol offers a general approach applicable to all GI techniques, and marks a further step forward towards real-time practical applications of correlation imaging.

Experimental data with digital masks and a theoretical analysis are presented for an imaging scheme that we call time-correspondence differential ghost imaging (TCDGI). It is shown that by conditional averaging of the information from the reference detector but with the negative signals inverted, the quality of the reconstructed images is in general superior to all other ghost imaging (GI) methods to date. The advantages of both differential GI and time-correspondence GI are combined, plus less data manipulation and shorter computation time are required to obtain equivalent quality images under the same conditions. This TCDGI method offers a general approach applicable to all GI techniques, especially when objects with continuous gray tones are involved.
A new imaging technique for $alpha$-particles using a fast optical camera focused on a thin scintillator is presented. As $alpha$-particles interact in a thin layer of LYSO fast scintillator, they produce a localized flash of light. The light is collected with a lens to an intensified optical camera, Tpx3Cam, with single photon sensitivity and excellent spatial & temporal resolutions. The interactions of photons with the camera is reconstructed by means of a custom algorithm, capable of discriminating single photons using time and spatial information.
For the first time, a direct detection BOTDR is demonstrated for distributed dynamic strain sensing incorporating double-edge technique, time-division multiplexing technique and upconversion technique. The double edges are realized by using the transmission curve and reflection curve of an all-fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI). Benefiting from the low loss of the fiber at, the time-division multiplexing technique is performed to realize the double-edge technique by using only a single-channel FPI and only one piece of a detector. In order to detect the weak spontaneous Brillouin backscattering signal efficiently, a fiber-coupled upconversion detector is adopted to upconvert the backscattering signal at 1548.1 nm to 863 nm, which is detected by a Si-APD finally. In the experiment, dynamic strain disturbance up to 1.9m{epsilon} over 1.5 km of polarization maintaining fiber is detected at a sampling rate of 30 Hz. An accuracy of 30{mu}{epsilon} and spatial resolution of 0.6 m is realized.
We show that an alkali atom with a tripod electronic structure can yield rich electromagnetically induced transparency phenomena even at room temperature. In particular we introduce double-double electromagnetically induced transparency wherein signal and probe fields each have two transparency windows. Their group velocities can be matched in either the first or second pair of transparency windows. Moreover signal and probe fields can each experience coherent gain in the second transparency windows. We explain using a semi-classical-dressed-picture to connect the tripod electronic structure to a double-Lambda scheme.
To quantify quantum optical coherence requires both the particle- and wave-natures of light. For an ideal laser beam [1,2,3], it can be thought of roughly as the number of photons emitted consecutively into the beam with the same phase. This number, $mathfrak{C}$, can be much larger than $mu$, the number of photons in the laser itself. The limit on $mathfrak{C}$ for an ideal laser was thought to be of order $mu^2$ [4,5]. Here, assuming nothing about the laser operation, only that it produces a beam with certain properties close to those of an ideal laser beam, and that it does not have external sources of coherence, we derive an upper bound: $mathfrak{C} = O(mu^4)$. Moreover, using the matrix product states (MPSs) method [6,7,8,9], we find a model that achieves this scaling, and show that it could in principle be realised using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) [10]. Thus $mathfrak{C} = O(mu^2)$ is only a standard quantum limit (SQL); the ultimate quantum limit, or Heisenberg limit, is quadratically better.
