Abstract

A ghost imaging setup having a spontaneous down conversion (SPDC) entangled photon source is considered. The experimental results prove that a change of the object reflection coefficient modifies the idler single count rate. An infrared laser acting as “signal reflected photons” source intensifies the idler single count rate. A crude explanation of this effect could be the stimulated SPDC photon pair generation. Fascinating applications arise: stimulated high intensity SPDC entangled photon sources.
