Abstract
Ghost imaging is a non-direct measurement technique that uses the correlation between multiple probing patterns and the integrated signal measured after transmission (or reflection) through an object. [1] The resolution of the technique is determined by the characteristic length scale of the probing patterns fluctuations and/or the resolution with which they can be measured. Originally demonstrated in the spatial domain to reconstruct images of real physical objects, ghost imaging has been recently extended to the time-domain to measure ultrafast signals at telecom wavelengths [2]. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate ultrafast ghost imaging in the time-domain where the correlated intensities have completely different wavelengths. This wavelength-conversion temporal ghost-imaging scheme exploits fully the benefit of ghost imaging opening up new possibilities for ultrafast imaging in spectral regions where sensitive and/or fast detectors are not available and in particular the mid-infrared or THz range.
