Superresolution concentration measurement realized by sub-shot-noise absorption spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Absorption spectroscopy is one of the most widely used spectroscopic methods. The signal-to-noise ratio in conventional absorption spectroscopy is ultimately limited by the shot noise, which arises from the statistical property of the light used for the measurement. Here we show that the noise in absorption spectra can be suppressed below the shot-noise limit when entangled photon pairs are used for the light source. By combining broadband entangled photon pairs and multichannel detection, we realize the acquisition of sub-shot-noise absorption spectra in the entire visible wavelength. Furthermore, we demonstrate the strength of sub-shot-noise absorption spectroscopy for the identification and quantification of chemical species, which are two primary aims of absorption spectroscopy.
