This study introduces a new method for measuring complex optical quantum states using array detectors. This technique significantly improves detection efficiency by reducing local oscillator mode-matching issues.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum optics
  • Quantum information science

Background:

  • Measuring quantum states of optical fields is crucial for quantum technologies.
  • Complex spatial structures in optical modes pose challenges for traditional measurement techniques.
  • Mode-matching between signal fields and local oscillators is critical for efficient quantum state tomography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel method for measuring the quantum state of optical fields with complex spatial structures.
  • To enhance the effective detection efficiency in quantum state measurements.
  • To mitigate the impact of mode-mismatch between the signal field and the local oscillator.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing array detectors for optical field measurements.
  • Employing a single, plane-wave local oscillator beam.

  • Developing a technique that reduces the deleterious effects of mode-mismatch.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated a significant reduction in the impact of local oscillator mode-mismatch on detection efficiency.
    • Achieved unity effective mode-matching efficiency when the signal field's spatial mode is described by a real function.
    • Showcased the advantage of array detectors over single detectors for such measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers a robust approach for characterizing quantum states of complex optical modes.
    • Array detectors provide superior performance in quantum state measurement when mode-matching is imperfect.
    • This technique advances the capabilities for quantum state tomography in realistic optical systems.
