High-Visibility Pseudothermal Light Source Based on a Cr4+ : YAG Passively Q-Switched Single-Longitudinal-Mode Laser

High-visibility pseudothermal light source is required by the long-distance ghost imaging technology. In this article, the pulsed pseudothermal light based on a compact and Q-switched laser system with high peak power and intensity is reported. The passively Q-switched technique advances the performance of the pseudothermal light, where the second-order quantum correlation function g 2 value increased from 1.452 to 1.963.

Conservation Laws in Quantum-Correlation-Function Dynamics

For a complete and lucid discussion of quantum correlation, we introduced two new first-order correlation tensors defined as linear combinations of the general coherence tensors of the quantized fields and derived the associated coherence potentials governing the propagation of quantum correlation. On the basis of these quantum optical coherence tensors, we further introduced new concepts of scalar, vector and tensor densities and presented some related properties, such as conservation laws and the wave-particle duality for quantum correlation, which provide new insights into photon statistics and quantum correlation.

FREDHOLM DETERMINANT REPRESENTATION OF QUANTUM CORRELATION FUNCTION FOR SINE-GORDON AT SPECIAL VALUE OF COUPLING CONSTANT

Correlation functions of the Sine-Gordon model (which is equivalent to the Massive-Thirring model) are considered at the free fermion point. We derive a determinant formula for local correlation functions of the Sine-Gordon model, starting from Bethe ansatz wave function. Kernel of integral operator is trigonometric version of the one for Impenetrable Bosons.
