Nonclassical intensity correlation from a type I phase-matched optical parametric oscillator
Abstract:
Signal and idler beams from a type I phase-matched nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator are separated by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Broadband nonclassical intensity correlation is observed, in agreement with a theory that includes pump noise. The maximum observed correlation, which occurs at 1.1 MHz, yields a noise level 2.8 dB below the shot noise.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
