Here we extend these techniques to the time-frequency domain using mode-selective sum-frequency generation with shaped ultrafast pulses. We experimentally resolve temporal and spectral separations between incoherent mixtures of single-photon level signals ten times smaller than their optical bandwidths with a tenfold improvement in precision over the intensity-only Cramer-Rao bound.engQuantum-limited time-frequency estimation through mode-selective photon measurementjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.090501https://journals.aps.orgopen access535Single-molecule microscopyFisher informationParameter-estimationOptical resolutionConversionInterferometryPowerÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
