• Abstract summary: We experimentally demonstrate the mitigating effect of the loss on visibility of the SALHI via asymmetric gain optimization. We theoretically find that the optimal condition for the largest visibility is the same as that for the enhancement of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to the best value in the presence of losses. Our results provide a significant foundation for practical application of the SALHI in radar and ranging measurements.

• Abstract: The SU (1,1)-type atom-light hybrid interferometer (SALHI) is a kind of interferometer that is sensitive to both the optical phase and atomic phase. However, the loss has been an unavoidable problem in practical applications and greatly limits the use of interferometers. Visibility is an important parameter to evaluate the sensing performance of interferometers. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the mitigating effect of the loss on visibility of the SALHI via asymmetric gain optimization, where the maximum threshold of loss to visibility close to $100\%$ is increased. Furthermore, we theoretically find that the optimal condition for the largest visibility is the same as that for the enhancement of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to the best value in the presence of losses using the intensity detection, indicating that the visibility can act as an experimental operational criterion for SNR improvement in practical applications. Improvement of the interference visibility means achievement of SNR enhancement. Our results provide a significant foundation for practical application of the SALHI in radar and ranging measurements.

  We introduce an ultra-sensitive interferometric protocol that combines weak value amplification with traditional interferometry. This WVA+interferometry protocol uses weak value amplification of the relative delay between two paths to enhance the interferometric sensitivity. We experimentally demonstrate that the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved by one to three orders of magnitude.

  We present a theoretical description of spatially multimode SU (1,1) interferometers operating at low and high parametric gains. Our approach is based on a step-by-step solution of a system of integro-differential equations for each nonlinear interaction region. We investigate plane-wave and Gaussian pumping and show that for any parametric gain, there exists a region of phases for which the phase sensitivity surpasses the standard shot-noise scaling.

  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.
