Heisenberg limited Sagnac interferometry

Opt Express. 2007 May 28;15(11):6798-808. doi: 10.1364/oe.15.006798.

Abstract

We show how the entangled photons produced in parametric down conversion can be used to improve the sensitivity of a Sagnac interferometer. Two-photon and four-photon coincidences increases the sensitivity by a factor of two and four respectively. Our results apply to sources with arbitrary pumping and squeezing parameters.
