Eliminating Thermal IR Background Noise by Imaging with Undetected Photons

Spectroscopy and imaging in the mid-infrared (2.5 $μ$m $\sim$ $λ$ $\sim$ 25 $μ$m) is bedevilled by the presence of a strong 300 K thermal background at room temperature that makes IR detectors decades noisier than can be readily achieved in the visible. The technique of "imaging with undetected photons" (IUP) exploits the quantum correlations between entangled photon pairs to transfer image information from one spectral region to another, and here we show that it does so in a way that is immune to the thermal background. This means that IUP can be used to perform high speed photon counting measurements across the mid-IR, using uncooled visible detectors that are many times cheaper, faster, and more sensitive than their IR counterparts.
