}I describe my research on two topics in the area of experimental nonlinear optics: interferometric superresolution and fast-light pulse-distortion management. In the first topic, I study means to achieve enhanced resolution over the classical Rayleigh limit through the use of nonlinear and quantum optical methods. In the second topic, I suggest and demonstrate a new procedure for fast-light pulse-distortion management in a saturable gain medium. The minimum peak-to-peak distance of an optical…

In these experiments, an N-photon-absorption recording medium is simulated by Nth harmonic generation followed by a CCD camera, suggesting that the improved resolution achieved through use of "quantum lithography" results primarily from the nonlinear response of the recording medium and not from quantum features of the light field.

N numerically and experimentally demonstrate that the same experimental apparatus usually employed for generating a Brillouin gain doublet, can also be used for achieving three equally-spaced BrillouIn gain resonances, further increasing the distortion-constrained pulse delay.

A four-photon interferometer based on linear optics is demonstrated, demonstrating the presence of a four-particle mode-entangled state and anticipating that this scheme should be extendable to arbitrary photon numbers, holding promise for realizable applications with entanglement-enhanced performance.

This work demonstrates experimentally a technique for producing a maximally entangled three-photon state from initially non-entangled photons, which can in principle be applied to generate states of arbitrary photon number, giving arbitrarily large improvement in measurement resolution.
