Multiphoton Optical Heterodyne Detection
After reviewing recent work on multiphoton direct detection and single-photon heterodyne detection, we examine the behavior of a multiphoton absorption heterodyne receiver. Expressions are obtained for the detector response, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and minimum detectable power for a number of cases of interest. Receiver performance is found to depend on the higher order correlation functio...
متن کاملFiber-Optic Broadband Signal Distribution Link Based on a Millimeter-Wave Self-Heterodyne Transmission/Optical Remote Heterodyne Detection Technique
A fiber-optic broadband signal distribution link based on a millimeter-wave self-heterodyne transmission/optical remote heterodyne detection technique was developed. To avoid having to use expensive optical and millimeter-wave devices to construct a frequency-stable fiber-optic millimeter-signal transmission system, a millimeter-wave self-heterodyne transmission technique was used, in which tra...
متن کاملImaging and target detection with a heterodyne-reception optical radar.
A mathematical system model for a compact heterodyne-reception infrared radar is developed. This model incorporates the statistical effects of propagation through atmospheric turbulence, target speckle and glint, and heterodyne-reception shot noise. It is used to find the image signal-to-noise ratio of a matched-filter envelope-detector receiver and the target detection probability of the optim...
متن کاملAtmospheric turbulence-induced signal fades on optical heterodyne communication links.
The three basic atmospheric propagation effects, absorption, scattering, and turbulence, are reviewed. A simulation approach is then developed to determine signal fade probability distributions on heterodynedetected satellite links which operate through naturally occurring atmospheric turbulence. The calculations are performed on both angle-tracked and nonangle-tracked downlinks, and on uplinks...
متن کاملOptical heterodyne detection in cavity ring-down spectroscopy
Polarization-selective optical heterodyne detection is shown to enhance the practical sensitivity of cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Initial experiments demonstrate a signal-to-noise ratio above 31 dB. Minor improvements should yield shot-noise-limited operation. q 1998. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
