Ghost imaging with intense entangled fields

We implement a frequency degenerate seeded downconversion process in which the seed field is a spatially multimode chaotic field. The two output fields are quantum correlated in space and intensity and maintain the same spatial and temporal structure as the seeding field and thus represent two almost twin multimode fields that can be used for ghost imaging applications.
