“…13b. Additional experiments reporting the observation of the de Broglie wavelength of two or more photons have been reported [60,61,62,63,64,65]. The increase in spatial frequency in these experiments is equivalent to an increase in resolution, which may lead to interesting applications in optical lithography.…”

The transverse spatial effects observed in photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion provide a robust and fertile testing ground for studies of quantum mechanics, non-classical states of light, correlated imaging and quantum information. Over the last 20 years there has been much progress in this area, ranging from technical advances and applications such as quantum imaging to investigations of fundamental aspects of quantum physics such as complementarity relations, Bell's inequality violation and entanglement. The field has grown immensely: a quick search shows that there are hundreds of papers published in this field, some with hundreds of citations. The objective of this article is to review the building blocks and major theoretical and experimental advances in the field, along with some possible technical applications and connections to other research areas.

“…Recently, multiphoton grating effects have attracted a lot of attention, including Talbot self-imaging [17][18][19][20][21][22], grating based ghost imaging [23,24], super-resolving interference of grating [15,25], and high visibility two-photon grating effect [26] with a visibility even surpassing 50%, which was considered as an upper limit for two-photon interference with classical light [27][28][29][30]. Different from single-photon grating effects, which rely on the spatial coherence property of light sources [31], multiphoton grating interference is usually obtained with first-order incoherent illumination.…”

By generalizing the phase structure of the random-phase grating we recently designed [Opt. Express21, 14056 (2013)OPEXFF1094-408710.1364/OE.21.014056], we show that non-HBT type (synchronous position) two-photon grating interference can be obtained, which physically relies on groups of multiple indistinguishable two-photon paths modulated by the spatial distributions of phase modes. By properly selecting the random-phase structures, synchronous position subwavelength interference can be obtained, the period of which, in the two-photon interference domain, is decreased by a factor N (=3,4,5,6,…), depending on the slit number and random-phase structure, and the visibility of N-fold subwavelength interference fringes could be improved by increasing the slit number of the grating. The results show that modulation on two-photon paths via spatial arrangements of the phase modes offers the possibility to actively control the optical high-order coherence in the same optical scheme.

“…For example, when the entangled source replaces the thermal light source in Scheme II, the effective diffraction length is Z = z 1 z 2 /(z 1 + z 2 ). For z 1 = z 2 the effective diffraction length is half of the physical distance between object and detector, resulting in a subwavelength pattern [5,6]. The physics underlying the second-order Talbot effect for both the sources can be ascribed to the joint diffraction of two correlated beams.…”

“…Recently, the conditional Talbot effect and the second-order Talbot effect with entangled photon pairs were discussed theoretically by Vidal et al [5] and by Wu's group [6], respectively. The self-images in the two-photon Talbot effect are observed through two-photon coincidence counts, and there is no imaging in single-photon counts.…”

Second-order Talbot self-imaging with pseudothermal light

et al. 2010

The second-order Talbot effect with thermal light is both theoretically and experimentally investigated. Three kinds of experimental schemes are performed, one of which reproduces the classical Talbot self-imaging and the others show plentiful self-imaging effects, in which an object with a periodic structure can be enlarged or diminished. The theoretical analysis, in good agreement with the experimental results, testifies that the specificity in the second-order Talbot effect refers to the joint diffraction of two correlated beams.
