    摘要: A method for identifying three entangled photons includes generating a set of first, second, and third entangled photons correlated in time and interfering the first and second entangled photons based on a difference between a first optical path from an output of an optical source that generates the first entangled photon to a first optical input to an interferometric beam splitter and a second optical path from an output of the optical source that generates the second entangled photon to a second input of the interferometric beam splitter. A first electrical signal is generated in response to detection of a first photon generated by the interfering of the first and second entangled photons. A second electrical signal is generated in response to detection of a second photon generated by the interfering of the first and second entangled photons. A third electrical signal is generated in response to detection of the third entangled photon. The first photon coincidence is determined from the first, second and their electrical signals, thereby identifying three entangled photons.

    摘要: An interferometer for the measurement of a surface or an optical thickness of an optically smooth test object is provided, wherein the interferometer is configured to illuminate the optically smooth test object simultaneously with a plurality of object waves, which have different wavelengths from one another, and to superimpose the object waves 10 deformed by the illuminated test object onto coherent reference waves on an image capture device, and to spectrally decompose the interferograms resulting from the superposition into wavelength-specific partial interferograms.

    摘要: A laser measurement system for measuring up to 21 geometric errors, in which a six-degree-of-freedom geometric error simultaneous measurement unit and a beam-turning unit are mounted on either the clamping workpiece or the clamping tool, while an error-sensitive unit is mounted on the remaining one, the beam-turning unit has several switchable working postures and multi-component combinations in its installation state, it can split or turn the laser beam from the six-degree-of-freedom geometric error simultaneous measurement unit to the X, Y, and Z directions in a proper order, or the beam-turning unit can split or turn a beam from the error-sensitive unit to the six-degree-of-freedom geometric error simultaneous measurement unit. The present invention is of simple configuration and convenient operation. Up to 21 geometric errors of three mutual perpendicular linear motion guides are obtained by a single installation and step-by-step measurement.
