Theoretical predictions for ultrasensitive sensing in three-dimensional stochastic interferometry

We show that a random light field can be harnessed for high-precision metrology by introducing specific boundary conditions in the form of Lambertian reflections inside a cavity. We demonstrate a quantifiable and reproducible interferometric response to minute perturbations in wavelength, refractive index, and geometry, predicting high sensitivities consistent with experimental measurements of geometrical deformations down to the picometer scale.

Abstract

We show that a random light field can be harnessed for high-precision metrology by introducing specific boundary conditions in the form of Lambertian reflections inside a cavity. We demonstrate a quantifiable and reproducible interferometric response to minute perturbations in wavelength, refractive index, and geometry, predicting high sensitivities consistent with experimental measurements of geometrical deformations down to the picometer scale.
