Area of Science:

Quantum optics and deep-sea exploration.

Background:

Underwater optical imaging faces challenges from signal absorption and scattering, limiting detection range and image quality.
Classical imaging struggles with low signal-to-noise ratios in deep-sea environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate a thresholded single-photon imaging and detection scheme for overcoming underwater noise.
To enhance the capabilities of optical target imaging and detection in challenging deep-sea conditions.

Main Methods:

Experimental demonstration of a thresholded single-photon imaging system.
Utilizing photon-limited computational algorithms for image reconstruction in high-loss environments.
Testing detection capabilities in Jerlov type III water up to 50 meters.

Main Results:

Successful extraction of photon signals from a noisy underwater environment.
Reconstruction of images in a high-loss underwater setting.
Achieved underwater detection down to 0.8 photons per pulse, exceeding 9 attenuation lengths.

Conclusions:

The developed single-photon scheme surpasses classical underwater imaging and detection limits.
This technology opens avenues for quantum-enhanced applications in deep-sea exploration and target tracking.
