Interferometry as a binary decision problem

preprint1996arXivOpen access

Abstract

Binary decision theory has been applied to the general interferometric problem. Optimal detection scheme-according to the Neyman-Pearson criterion-has been considered for different phase-enhanced states of radiation field, and the corresponding bounds on minimum detectable phase shift has been evaluated. A general bound on interferometric precision has been also obtained in terms of photon number fluctuations of the signal mode carrying the phase information.
