TL;DR
This paper demonstrates a novel quantum ghost imaging setup that significantly reduces turbulence effects, improving image quality by decoupling the photon source from the image plane, with measurable increases in pattern visibility.
Contribution
The study introduces a new configuration for quantum ghost imaging that mitigates turbulence effects by decoupling the entangled photon source from the image plane.
Findings
Visibility increased from 0.14 to 0.29 under turbulence
Turbulence impact on ghost imaging can be reduced
Enhanced image quality through experimental configuration change
Abstract
We investigate the effect of turbulence on quantum ghost imaging. We use entangled photons and demonstrate that for a novel experimental configuration the effect of turbulence can be greatly diminished. By decoupling the entangled photon source from the ghost imaging central image plane, we are able to dramatically increase the ghost image quality. When imaging a test pattern through turbulence, this method increased the imaged pattern visibility from V = 0.14 +/- 0.04 to V = 0.29 +/- 0.04.
