Closed-loop technique based on gain balancing for real-time Brillouin optical time-domain analysis

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Li Zhang, Ana Gabriela Correa Mena

A closed-loop servo control based on balancing the gain of two probing frequencies is proposed for real-time Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) without post-processing. With the most basic BOTDA hardware setup, the system can perform measuremen ...

Digitally controlled analog proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller for high-speed scanning probe microscopy

Georg Fantner, Maja Dukic Pjanic, Nahid Hosseini, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Santiago Harald Andany, Chen Yang

Nearly all scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) contain a feedback controller, which is used to move the scanner in the direction of the z-axis in order to maintain a constant setpoint based on the tip-sample interaction. The most frequently used feedback con ...

Appearance and Disappearance of Quantum Correlations in Measurement-Based Feedback Control of a Mechanical Oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Sergey Fedorov, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir, Amir Hossein Ghadimi, Hendrik Schütz

Quantum correlations between imprecision and backaction are a hallmark of continuous linear measurements. Here, we study how measurement-based feedback can be used to improve the visibility of quantum correlations due to the interaction of a laser field wi ...
