Abstract
Two schemes of projection measurement are realized experimentally to demonstrate the de Broglie wavelength of three photons without the need for a maximally entangled three-photon state (the NOON state). The first scheme is based on a proposal by that utilizes a couple of asymmetric beam splitters while the second one applies the general method of NOON-state projection measurement to a three-photon case. Quantum interference of three photons is responsible for projecting out the unwanted states, leaving only the NOON-state contribution in these schemes of projection measurement. A detailed multimode analysis is made to account for imperfect situations in the experiments. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
