2-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging with entangled photons
This project aims to develop a quantum-enabled fluorescence lifetime microscope. The illumination from a pulsed laser will be replaced with entangled photon pairs to exploit their correlations to produce fluorescence lifetime images. Utilising quantum light, in the form of pairs of entangled photons, can provide the same temporal information as provided in conventional fluorescence microscopy, with low photon flux and use substantially cheaper continuous-wave lasers.
