Holographic recording without a reference wave has been long pursued because it obviates the high experimental requirements of conventional interferometric methods. However, due to the ill-posed nature of the underlying phase retrieval problem, reference-free holographic imaging is faced with an inherent tradeoff between imaging fidelity and temporal resolution. Here, we propose a general computational framework, termed spatiotemporally regularized inversion (STRIVER), to achieve motion-resolved, reference-free holographic imaging with high fidelity. Specifically, STRIVER leverages signal priors in the spatiotemporal domain to jointly eliminate phase ambiguities and motion artifacts, and, when combined with diversity measurement schemes, produces a physically reliable, time-resolved holographic video from a series of intensity-only measurements. We experimentally demonstrate STRIVER in near-field ptychography, where dynamic holographic imaging of freely swimming paramecia is performed at a framerate-limited speed of 112 fps. The proposed method can be potentially extended to other measurement schemes, spectral regimes, and computational imaging modalities, pushing the temporal resolution toward higher limits.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139101310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This enhances the efficiency of nonlinear frequency conversion and it facilitates extending the accessible wavelength range, for example, into the extreme ultraviolet (XUV). The resulting spectrally dense frequency comb can still be used for precision spectroscopy of narrow atomic or molecular transitions. In this paper, we demonstrate a low-noise infrared frequency comb with a repetition rate as low as 40 kHz using a Yb:KYW mode-locked laser, pulse picking, and subsequent amplification. The frequency comb structure is confirmed by generating a beat note with a continuous wave reference laser. A comb mode is actively stabilized to the reference laser, and the integrated rms phase noise from 20 Hz to 20 kHz is measured to be 195 mrad.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139091417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, despite the long history, its quantum limits have yet to be explored. In general, any precision optical measurement is accompanied by optical force induced disturbance to the measured object (termed as back action) leading to a standard quantum limit (SQL). Here, we give a simple ray optics description of how such back action can be evaded in optical lever detection. We perform a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating the mechanism of back action evasion in the classical regime, by developing a lens system that cancels extra tilting of the reflected light off a silicon nitride membrane mechanical resonator caused by laser-pointing-noise-induced optical torques. We achieve a readout noise floor two orders of magnitude lower than the SQL, corresponding to an effective optomechanical cooperativity of 100 without the need for an optical cavity. As the state-of-the-art ultralow dissipation optomechanical systems relevant for quantum sensing are rapidly approaching the level where quantum noise dominates, simple and widely applicable back action evading protocols will be crucial for pushing beyond quantum limits.","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139091101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the context of wave phenomena, such lossy interactions can be specifically controlled to isolate the system, a condition known as a bound-state-in-continuum (BIC). Despite the recent advances in engineered BICs for photonic waveguiding, practical implementations are still largely polarization- and geometry-specific, and the underlying principles remain to be systematically explored. Here, we theoretically and experimentally study low loss BIC photonic waveguiding within a two-layer heterogeneous electro-optically active integrated photonic platform. We show that coupling to the slab wave continuum can be selectively suppressed for guided modes with different polarizations and spatial structure. We demonstrate a low-loss same-polarization quasi-BIC guided mode enabling a high extinction Mach-Zehnder electro-optic amplitude modulator within a single Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> ridge waveguide integrated with an extended LiNbO<sub>3</sub> slab layer. By elucidating the broad BIC waveguiding principles and demonstrating them in an industry-relevant photonic configuration, this work may inspire innovative approaches to photonic applications such as switching and filtering. The broader impact of this work extends beyond photonics, influencing research in other wave dynamics disciplines, including microwave and acoustics.</p>","PeriodicalId":19515,"journal":{"name":"Optica","volume":"11 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11151840/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141262352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
