We theoretically propose a photonic flash based on a linearly coupled cavity system. Via driving the two side cavities by external fields, it forms a cyclic energy-level diagram and therefore the phase difference between the driving fields acts as a controller of the steady state due to the quantum interference effect. In the optical trimer structure, we show that the perfect photonic flash can be realized in the situation of resonant driving. The perfect photonic flash scheme is furthermore generalized to multiple coupled cavity system, where the cavities with odd and even number turn bright and dark alternatively. {Our proposal may be applied in the designing of quantum neon and realizing a controllable photonic localization.

Mossbauer nuclei feature exceptionally narrow resonances at hard x-ray energies, which render them ideal probes for structure and dynamics in condensed-matter systems, and a promising platform for x-ray quantum optics and fundamental tests. However, a direct spectroscopy at modern x-ray sources such as synchrotrons or x-ray free electron lasers is challenging, because of the broad spectral bandwidth of the delivered x-ray pulses, and because of a limited spectral resolution offered by x-ray optics and detectors. To overcome these challenges, here, we propose a spectroscopy technique based on a spectrally narrow reference absorber that is rapidly oscillating along the propagation direction of the x-ray light. The motion induces sidebands to the response of the absorber, which we scan across the spectrum of the unknown target to gain spectral information. The oscillation further introduces a dependence of the detected light on the motional phase at the time of x-ray excitation as an additional controllable degree of freedom. We show how a Fourier analysis with respect to this phase enables one to selectively extract parts of the recorded intensity after the actual experiment, throughout the data analysis. This allows one to improve the spectral recovery by removing unwanted signal contributions. Our method is capable of gaining spectral information from the entire measured intensity, and not only from the intensity at late times after the excitation, such that a significantly higher part of the signal photons can be used. Furthermore, it not only enables one to measure the amplitude of the spectral response, but also its phase.
An improvement of the scheme by Brunner and Simon [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 010405 (2010)] is proposed in order to show that quantum weak measurements can provide a method to detect ultrasmall longitudinal phase shifts, even with white light. By perform ing an analysis in the frequency domain, we find that the amplification effect will work as long as the spectrum is large enough, irrespective of the behavior in the time domain. As such, the previous scheme can be notably simplified for experimental implementations.
We theoretically propose a method to enhance Raman scattering by injecting a seeded light field which is correlated with the initially prepared atomic spin wave. Such a light-atom correlation leads to an interference in the Raman scattering. The inte rference is sensitive to the relative phase between the seeded light field and initially prepared atomic spin wave. For constructive interference, the Raman scattering is greatly enhanced. Such an enhanced Raman scattering may find applications in quantum information, nonlinear optics and optical metrology due to its simplicity.
We propose a novel quantum diffraction imaging technique whereby one photon of an entangled pair is diffracted off a sample and detected in coincidence with its twin. The image is obtained by scanning the photon that did not interact with matter. We show that when a dynamical quantum system interacts with an external field, the phase information is imprinted in the state of the field in a detectable way. The contribution to the signal from photons that interact with the sample scales as $propto I_{p}^{1/2}$, where $I_{p}$ is the source intensity, compared to $propto I_{p}$ of classical diffraction. This makes imaging with weak-field possible, avoiding damage to delicate samples. A Schmidt decomposition of the state of the field can be used for image enhancement by reweighting the Schmidt modes contributions.
Phase-sensitive optical parametric amplification of squeezed states helps to overcome detection loss and noise and thus increase the robustness of sub-shot-noise sensing. Because such techniques, e.g., imaging and spectroscopy, operate with multimode light, multimode amplification is required. Here we find the optimal methods for multimode phase-sensitive amplification and verify them in an experiment where a pumped second-order nonlinear crystal is seeded with a Gaussian coherent beam. Phase-sensitive amplification is obtained by tightly focusing the seed into the crystal, rather than seeding with close-to-plane waves. This suggests that phase-sensitive amplification of sub-shot-noise images should be performed in the near field. Similar recipe can be formulated for the time and frequency, which makes this work relevant for quantum-enhanced spectroscopy.
