Two-mode heterodyne phase detection.

چکیده
We present an experimental scheme that achieves ideal phase detection on a two-mode field. The two modes a and b are the signal and image band modes of an heterodyne detector, with the field approaching an eigenstate of the photocurrent Ẑ = a + b†. The field is obtained by means of a high-gain phase-insensitive amplifier followed by a high-transmissivity beam-splitter with a strong local oscillator at the frequency of one of the two modes.

Error Analysis, Design and Modeling of an Improved Heterodyne Nano-Displacement Interferometer
A new heterodyne nano-displacement with error reduction is presented. The main errors affecting the displacement accuracy of the nano-displacement measurement system including intermodulation distortion error, cross-talk error, cross-polarization error and phase detection error are calculated. In the designed system, a He-Ne laser having three-longitudinal-mode is considered as the stabiliz...

The problem of estimating a generic phase-shift experienced by a quantum state is addressed for a generally degenerate phase shift operator. The optimal positive operator-valued measure is derived along with the optimal input state. Two relevant examples are analyzed: i) a multi-mode phase shift operator for multipath interferometry; ii) the two mode heterodyne phase detection.
متن کاملHeterodyne Interferometer/Polarimeter for Sensing Alfvén Activity in the H-1 Heliac
A phase-sensitive heterodyne interferometer/polarimeter for measurement of electron densities and plasma fluctuation structures is described. The instrument utilizes a frequency swept-source to provide a frequency offset for heterodyne detection methods. Only two detectors are required to obtain the interferometric and polarimetric information which is encoded as a phase modulation on the inter...
متن کاملAn Analysis of Heterodyne Pulse-Position Modulation Communication Systems Over Unguided, Turbulent Optical Channels
This article investigates the performance of the heterodyne detection scheme for optical pulse-position modulation (PPM) communications channels when nonideal laser transmitters are employed. Two aspects of this channel will be considered. First, the limitations of unguided, turbulent channels in accommodating coherent laser communications are addressed. This is followed by an investigation of ...
متن کاملPhase imaging and detection in pseudo-heterodyne scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy measurements.
When considering the pseudo-heterodyne mode for detection of the modulus and phase of the near field from scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) measurements, processing only the modulus of the signal may produce an undesired constraint in the accessible values of the phase of the near field. A two-dimensional analysis of the signal provided by the data acquisition system ma...
