摘要

Abstract

Nonlinear interferometers with correlated photons hold promise to advance optical characterization and metrology techniques by improving their performance and affordability. These interferometers offer subshot noise phase sensitivity and enable measurements in detection-challenging regions using inexpensive and efficient components. The sensitivity of nonlinear interferometers

defined by the ability to measure small shifts of interference fringes

can be significantly enhanced by using multiple nonlinear elements

or crystal superlattices. However

to date

experiments with more than two nonlinear elements have not been realized

thus hindering the potential of nonlinear interferometers. Here

we build a nonlinear interferometer with up to five nonlinear elements

referred to as superlattices

in a highly stable and versatile configuration. We study the modification of the interference pattern for different configurations of the superlattices and perform a proof-of-concept gas sensing experiment with enhanced sensitivity. Our approach offers a viable path towards broader adoption of nonlinear interferometers with correlated photons for imaging

interferometry

and spectroscopy.
