Quantum parametric mode sorting: a case study on small angle scattering

Not Accessible

Abstract

Quantum parametric mode sorting has been shown to enable photon counting with precise time gating and exceptional noise rejection that significantly exceeds what is possible with linear filters. While previous experimental demonstrations were in a collinear optical configuration, its response to off-axis scattering must be understood to apply it more broadly in remote sensing missions. To evaluate this prospect, we use a laboratory testbed to examine its performance for detecting photons at small angles, along both forward and backward directions, after passing through strongly scattering media. Our results find no measurable degradation in detecting noncollinear photons along both directions. This finding indicates that the key intra-pulse coherence essential to quantum parametric mode sorting is maintained at a small scattering angle, permitting its applications on a moving platform.
