摘要
En 中文
Optical phase determination is an important and established tool in diverse fields such as astronomy, biology, or quantum optics. There is increasing interest in using a lower number of total photons. However, different noise sources, such as electronic readout noise in the detector, and shot noise, hamper the phase estimation in regimes of very low illumination. Here, we report a study on how the quality of phase determination is affected by these two sources of noise. To that end, we experimentally reconstruct different wave fronts by means of a point-diffraction interferometer for different mean intensities of illumination, up to 15 photons per pixel. Our interferometer features a skipper-CCD sensor, which allows us to reduce the readout noise arbitrarily, thus enabling us to separate the effect of these two sources of noise. For two cases of interest-a spatial qudit encoding phase, consisting of d = 6 uniform phase regions, and a more general continuous phase-we see that reducing the readout noise leads to a clear improvement in the quality of reconstruction. This can be explained by a simple noise model that allows us to predict the expected fidelity of reconstruction and shows excellent agreement with the measurements.
