An SU(1,1) interferometer uses a sequence of two optical parametric amplifiers for achieving sub-shot-noise sensitivity to a phase shift introduced in between. We present the first realization of a wide-field SU(1,1) interferometer, where the use of a focusing element enables spatially multimode operation within a broad angle. Over this angle, the interference phase is found to be flat. This property is important for the high sensitivity to the phase front disturbance. Further, -4.3 +/- 0.7 dB quadrature squeezing, an essential requirement to the high sensitivity, is experimentally demonstrated for plane-wave modes inside the interferometer. Such an interferometer is useful not only for quantum metrology, but also in remote sensing, enhanced sub-shot-noise imaging, and quantum information processing.
