Abstract

Modern instruments for imaging biological samples often use high-power lasers or fluorescent dyes that can disturb sensitive processes within living organisms such as plants. Additionally, many interesting plant processes have absorption bands within the near-infrared (NIR), a spectral region hard to efficiently and cost-effectively detect using current camera technology. We present a quantum ghost imaging (QGI) protocol using a proprietary time and space-resolving photon-counting visible camera, NCam, and a highly nondegenerate source of entangled photon pairs. The combination of these two technologies allows for low-noise, high-resolution non-destructive imaging in the NIR, while using a camera sensitive for visible wavelengths.
