Abstract
The photon number (intensity) of a light beam can be read out and ampl ified essentially without adding any noise. In this article we will de scribe recent proof-of-principle experiments using simple optoelectron ic circuits. We also discuss the significance of these results with re spects to applications in communication and quantum optics. The relati on to quantum non-demolition measurement (QND) strategies is also disc ussed.
