1 Measurement and Control of Photon Spatial Wave Functions Cod Lear Oberlin College, April 2012
2 Agenda for toda Measuring the spatial wave function of a single photon Manipulating the wave function of a single photon Imparting a quantum of orbital angular momentum to a photon Interaction between wave functions of two colliding photons
3 What is a photon? A photon is an oscillating electric field (wave) that propagates through space and time A photon makes a photon detector go click! A photon has 4 degrees of freedom (DOFs): Transverse (2-D) photon shape Oscillating electric field amplitude 1.) It oscillates with a certain frequenc (energ) 2.) It oscillates in a certain plane (polarization) 3.) Its intensit (& E-field) in the transverse direction has a certain spatial shape 4.) Its intensit (& E-field) in the transverse direction has a certain spatial shape This talk concerns: The measurement and control of transverse spatial DOFs of photons Photon detecting camera
4 E Transverse spatial modes 1.) Vertical Coffee Bean 2.) Horizontal E Coffee Bean E Intensit= E 2 The electric field of one lobe is out of phase with the other Both modes have either even or odd parit in each dimension: The vertical mode is odd under reflection in The horizontal mode is even under reflection in Phase structure lies at the heart of photon quantum mechanics
5 E Transverse spatial modes 1.) Vertical Coffee Bean 2.) Horizontal E Coffee Bean E Intensit= E 2 Transverse spatial modes are analogous to spherical harmonics in a hdrogen atom Transverse spatial modes are thus the photon's wavefunction
6 E Transverse spatial modes 1.) Vertical Coffee Bean 2.) Horizontal E Coffee Bean E Intensit= E 2 An equal superposition of the vertical and horizontal coffee bean modes results in a new mode: a diagonal coffee bean. = + What I show E TOT, =E Vert, E Hor, What I mean
7 E Transverse spatial modes 1.) Vertical Coffee Bean 2.) Horizontal E Coffee Bean E Intensit= E 2 An equal superposition of the vertical and horizontal coffee bean modes results in a new mode: a diagonal coffee bean. = + How to measure a photon's mode? (vertical, horizontal, diagonal)
8 How not to measure the spatial mode of a single photon A photon counting detector alone cannot measure the transverse spatial mode of a single photon Suppose a vertical photon impinges on such a detector: At this point, the photon could be in either mode: It would take man identical photons to build up the full spatial intensit pattern
9 How to measure the spatial mode of a single photon We need a magic bo that: Accepts an unknown state as input Routes photons to one output Routes photons to a separate output Detector click ields the desired measurement Let's call it a Sorter? S

31 Conclusions: Measurement and Control of Photon Wave Functions Measurement: 1-D parit interferometer sorts photons with even and odd -parit into different ports. Control: Demonstrated phase control between even and odd modes. Imparted a quantum of orbital angular momentum to photons in two was interferometer optical fiber. Collisions : Overlapping photons with nontrivial spatial structure within a 1-D parit interferometer causes their wave functions to interact in surprising was-- interfering photons can be distinguishable!
