Quantum imaging with undetected photons of non-transmissive target

Quantum imaging with undetected photons (QIUP) is an active imaging method in which the detected and the probing photons are distinct and can be selected from different spectral regions. This technique holds potential for a wide range of applications affected by the trade-off between illumination wavelength and detection efficiency. The state-of-the-art experimental configurations assess the spectral absorption and phase information of a target solely in a transmissive configuration, which presents a limitation for applications where the target cannot be aligned with optical elements positioned behind it. In this work, we present an experimental configuration for QIUP of a scattering target, aiming to fill the gap in the applicability of the QIUP technique and enabling QIUP to detect remote targets.

Abstract

Quantum imaging with undetected photons (QIUP) is an active imaging method in which the detected and the probing photons are distinct and can be selected from different spectral regions. This technique holds potential for a wide range of applications affected by the trade-off between illumination wavelength and detection efficiency. The state-of-the-art experimental configurations assess the spectral absorption and phase information of a target solely in a transmissive configuration, which presents a limitation for applications where the target cannot be aligned with optical elements positioned behind it. In this work, we present an experimental configuration for QIUP of a scattering target, aiming to fill the gap in the applicability of the QIUP technique and enabling QIUP to detect remote targets.
