Abstract

In entanglement assisted communications and sensing the optical phase-conjugation (OPC), required before homodyne detection takes place, is typically performed on signal photons on receive side. Unfortunately, in turbulent free-space optical channels, the signal photons can be scattered or absorbed by the channel, and if they reach the receive side they are very weak. Here we propose an entanglement assisted radar technique in which the OPC is performed on bright idler photons instead. By performing the OPC on idler photons on transmit side, while employing adaptive optics and classical homodyne detection on receive side, we experimentally demonstrate that the target detection probability of the proposed entanglement assisted radar over turbulent free-space optical channel is significantly better than that of corresponding classical detection scheme.
