• Abstract summary: We propose a new protocol based on a modified SU(1,1) interferometer, where the second nonlinear element is replaced by a beam splitter. Our analysis suggests that the protocol can achieve sub-shot-noise-limited phase sensitivity and is robust against photon loss and background noise.

• Abstract: SU(1,1) interferometers, based on the usage of nonlinear elements, are superior to passive interferometers in phase sensitivity. However, the SU(1,1) interferometer cannot make full use of photons carrying phase information as the second nonlinear element annihilates some of the photons inside. Here, we focus on improving phase sensitivity and propose a new protocol based on a modified SU(1,1) interferometer, where the second nonlinear element is replaced by a beam splitter. We utilize two coherent states as inputs and implement balanced homodyne measurement at the output. Our analysis suggests that the protocol we propose can achieve sub-shot-noise-limited phase sensitivity and is robust against photon loss and background noise. Our work is important for practical quantum metrology using SU(1,1) interferometers.

  Two local displacement operations (LDOs) inside an SU (1,1) interferometer are investigated in this paper. We show that the estimation performance of DSU (1,1) interferometer is always better than that of SU (1,1) interferometer without the LDO. Our findings would open an useful view for quantum-improved phase estimation of optical interferometers.

  We develop and investigate an integrated multimode two-colour SU (1,1) interferometer that operates in a supersensitive mode. By ensuring a proper design of the integrated platform, we suppress dispersion and thereby significantly increase the visibility of the interference pattern. We demonstrate that such an interferometer overcomes the classical phase sensitivity limit for wide parametric gain ranges, when up to $3*104$ photons are generated.

  We show that the Analytic Signal phase, and its gradient have a hitherto unstudied discontinuity in $2-D $ and higher dimensions. This shortcoming can result in severe artifacts whereas the problem does not exist in $1-D $ signals. We suggest the use of Linear Symmetry phase, relying on more than one set of Gabor filters, but with a negligible computational add-on.
