• Abstract summary: We explore atomic two-photon spectroscopy with self-aligned homodyne interferometry in a $Lambda$-system with large optical depth. By switching off the probe laser abruptly (flash effect), the transient transmission signal is reinforced by cooperativity. This technique has potential applications in sensing, such as magnetometry and velocimetry, and in coherent population trapping clocks.

• Abstract: Focusing on the transient regime, we explore atomic two-photon spectroscopy with self-aligned homodyne interferometry in a $\Lambda$-system with large optical depth. The two light sources at the origin of the interference are the single-photon transient transmission of the probe, and the slow light of the electromagnetically induced transparency. By switching off the probe laser abruptly (flash effect), the transient transmission signal is reinforced by cooperativity, showing enhanced sensitivity to the two-photon frequency detuning. If the probe laser is periodically switched on and off, the amplitude of the transmission signal varies and remains large even for high modulation frequency. This technique has potential applications in sensing, such as magnetometry and velocimetry, and in coherent population trapping clocks.

  Squeezing the distribution of quantum noise to enhance measurement precision of either the amplitude or phase quadrature of an optical field leads to significant measurement improvements with continuous wave lasers. Interferometry with a second coherent state frequency comb yields mode-resolved spectroscopy of hydrogen sulfide gas with a signal-to-noise ratio nearly 3 dB beyond the shot noise limit. The quantum noise reduction leads to a two-fold quantum speedup in the determination of gas concentration, with impact for fast, broadband, and high SNR ratio measurements of multiple species in dynamic chemical environments.

  We report an experiment of observation of classical double-slit interference fringes of two-photon interference.

We reveal a new method to perform two-photon first-order interference, and this help to understand the nature of two-photon interference.
