Laser power noise detection at the quantum-noise limit of 32 A photocurrent.
The power noise of a cw Nd:YAG laser system was measured at radio frequencies using the optical ac coupling technique. An additional mode cleaner in the setup allowed a high optical ac coupling amplification of 62.3. For the first time, to our knowledge, a sensitivity of 1.1×10⁻¹⁰ Hz(-1/2) relative power noise was achieved corresponding to an equivalent detected photocurrent of 32 A. High preci...
متن کاملPhotocurrent noise in multi-quantum-well infrared photodetectors
We report on photocurrent noise in AlGaAs/GaAs quantum-well infrared photodetectors having nominally the same design, except the number of wells N . The power spectral density does not scale as the inverse of the number of wells N in the presence of infrared radiation. These features can be understood by taking into account the nonlinearity arising at high infrared power as a consequence of the...
متن کاملA W-band Simultaneously Matched Power and Noise Low Noise Amplifier Using CMOS 0.13µm
A complete procedure for the design of W-band low noise amplifier in MMIC technology is presented. The design is based on a simultaneously power and noise matched technique. For implementing the method, scalable bilateral transistor model parameters should be first extracted. The model is also used for transmission line utilized in the amplifier circuit. In the presented method, input/output ma...
متن کاملLaser Power Noise Measurements on a Cataphoretic He - Cd + Laser
Power output fluctuations at frequencies in the kHz to MHz range are commonly observed in gas lasers. In case of the cataphoretic He-Cd laser violent fluctuations of the order 50% peak to peak can occur [1]. This noise appears to be different in nature from e.g. He-Ne laser noise [2]. Its origin was attributed to neutral cadmium vapor density fluctuations [3] and to the coupling of Penning elec...
متن کاملAbsolute density measurement of SD radicals in a supersonic jet at the quantum-noise-limit.
The absolute density of SD radicals in a supersonic jet has been measured down to (1.1 ± 0.1) × 10(5) cm(-3) in a modestly specified apparatus that uses a cross-correlated combination of cavity ring-down and laser-induced fluorescence detection. Such a density corresponds to 215 ± 21 molecules in the probe volume at any given time. The minimum detectable absorption coefficient was quantum-noise...
