In this work we demonstrate experimentally the realization and characterization of high-dimensional hyperentangled quantum states of light in the time-energy and polarization degree of freedom. For this goal we use an ultra-bright Sagnac-type source to generate entangled photon in the telecommunication band by means of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). To project the time-energy entanglement to a 4-dimensional space we implemented a 4-arm interferometer, consisting of a cascade array of 2-arm unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometers (UMZI). For the case of the projection of the entangled quantum states in the polarization degree of freedom (DoF) a compact, stable and robust polarization analysis module (PAM) was implemented to project polarization correlations in two non-orthogonal basis.
A waveguide based upon the Pancharatnam-Berry phase (PBP) confines light even in the absence of a refractive index gradient. Here, we investigate theoretically the properties and the robustness of the PBP waveguide. &...

Image resolution of quantum imaging with undetected photons is governed by the spatial correlations existing between the photons of a photon pair that has been generated in a nonlinear process. These correlations allow for obtaining an image of an object with light that never interacted with that object. Depending on the imaging configuration, either position or momentum correlations are exploited. We hereby experimentally analyze how the crystal length and pump waist affect the image resolution when using position correlations of photons that have been generated via spontaneous parametric down conversion in a nonlinear interferometer. Our results support existing theoretical models for the dependency of the resolution on the crystal length. In addition, we probe the resolution of our quantum imaging scheme for varying pump waists over one order of magnitude. This analysis reveals the intricate dependency of the resolution on the strength of the correlations within the biphoton states for parameter combinations in which the crystal lengths are much larger than the involved photon wavelengths. We extend the existing models in this parameter regime to properly take nontrivial effects of finite pump waists into account and demonstrate that they match the experimental results.
We present a novel high-harmonic-based multi-wavelength correlative ptychographic microscope that employs infrared and extreme ultraviolet illumination. Our approach achieves position-correlated sub-60 resolution and ...

Surface Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) is a second order nonlinear process that can only be observed in materials with broken inversion symmetry. However, due to the discontinuity of the medium and the large electric field gradient at a surfaces, the inversion is broken and SHG can be generated there, too [1]. A. Pakhamov and et al [2] theoretically studied the surface SHG from ultrathin stacks of TiO 2 /SiO 2 . There many surfaces contribute to SHG in a subwavelength arrangement. They have predicted SHG enhancement from superimposing the signals from each surfaces with transfer matrix method.
