Analyses based on quantum metrology have shown that the ability to localize the positions of two incoherent point sources can be significantly enhanced through the use of mode sorting. Here we theoretically and experimentally investigate the effect of partial coherence on the sub-diffraction limit localization of two sources based on parity sorting. With the prior information of a negative and real-valued degree of coherence, higher Fisher information is obtained than that for the incoherent case. Our results pave the way to clarifying the role of coherence in quantum limited metrology.

In general, the typical approach to discriminate antibunching, bunching or superbunching categories make use of calculating the second-order coherence function ${g^{(2)}}(tau )$ of light. Although the classical light sources correspond to the specifi
c degree of second-order coherence ${g^{(2)}}(0)$, it does not alone constitute a distinguishable metric to characterize and determine light sources. Here we propose a new mechanism to directly classify and generate antibunching, bunching or superbunching categories of light, as well as the classical light sources such as thermal and coherent light, by Gamma fitting according to only one characteristic parameter $alpha$ or $beta$. Experimental verification of beams from four-wave mixing process is in agreement with the presented mechanism, and the in fluence of temperature $T$ and laser detuning $Delta$ on the measured results are investigated. The proposal demonstrates the potential of classifying and identifying light with different nature, and the most importantly, provides a convenient and simple method to generate light sources meeting various application requirements according to the presented rules. Most notably, the bunching and superbunching are distinguishable in super-Poissonian statistics using our mechanism.
We investigate the Goos-H{a}nchen (GH) shifts of partially coherent fields (PCFs) by using the theory of coherence. We derive a formal expression for the GH shifts of PCFs in terms of Mercers expansion, and then clearly demonstrate the dependence of
the GH shift of each mode of PCFs on spatial coherence and beam width. We discuss the effect of spatial coherence on the resultant GH shifts, especially for the cases near the critical angles, such as totally reflection angle.
Light-electron interaction in empty space is the seminal ingredient for free-electron lasers and also for controlling electron beams to dynamically investigate materials and molecules. Pushing the coherent control of free electrons by light to unexpl
ored timescales, below the attosecond, would enable unprecedented applications in light-assisted electron quantum circuits and diagnostics at extremely small timescales, such as those governing intramolecular electronic motion and nuclear phenomena. We experimentally demonstrate attosecond coherent manipulation of the electron wave function in a transmission electron microscope, and show that it can be pushed down to the zeptosecond regime with existing technology. We make a relativistic pulsed electron beam interact in free space with an appropriately synthesized semi-infinite light field generated by two femtosecond laser pulses reflected at the surface of a mirror and delayed by fractions of the optical cycle. The amplitude and phase of the resulting coherent oscillations of the electron states in energymomentum space are mapped via momentum-resolved ultrafast electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The experimental results are in full agreement with our theoretical framework for light-electron interaction, which predicts access to the zeptosecond timescale by combining semi-infinite X-ray fields with free electrons.
We propose a wavelength-mode sorter realized by multi-plane light conversion (MPLC). For the first time, to our best knowledge, wavelengths and spatial modes can be sorted simultaneously. We first demonstrate pure wavelength sorting by a series of ph
ase masks, which could find applications in high-power wavelength beam combining (WBC) or coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM), for example. We then present a design of a 4-wavelength, 3-mode sorter using only 5 phase masks. Insertion loss (IL) and mode dependent loss (MDL) as low as 1.27 dB and 2.45 dB can be achieved, respectively.
Manipulating the excitation of resonant electric and magnetic multipole moments in structured dielectric media has unlocked many sophisticated electromagnetic functionalities. This article demonstrates the experimental realization of a broadband Huyg
ens source. This Huygens source consists of a spherical particle that exhibits a well-defined forward-scattering pattern across more than an octave-spanning spectral band at GHz frequencies, where the scattering in the entire backward hemisphere is suppressed. Two different low-index nonmagnetic spheres are studied that differ in their permittivity. This causes them to offer a different shape for the forward-scattering pattern. The theoretical understanding of this broadband feature is based on the approximate equality of the resonant electric and magnetic multipole moments in both amplitude and phase in low permittivity spheres. This is a key condition to approximate the electromagnetic duality symmetry which, together with the spherical symmetry, suppresses the backscattering. With such a configuration, broadband Huygens sources can be designed even if magnetic materials are unavailable. This article provides guidelines for designing broadband Huygens sources using low-index spheres that could be valuable to a plethora of applications.
