Spatiotemporal heterodyne detection.
We describe a scheme in which a camera is turned into an efficient tunable frequency filter of a few-Hertz bandwidth in an off-axis, heterodyne optical mixing configuration, enabling one to perform parallel, high-resolution coherent spectral imaging. This approach is made possible through the combination of a spatial and temporal modulation of the signal to reject noise contributions. Experimen...
متن کاملMultiphoton 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...

Heterodyne experiments have been performed m the middle infrared region of the eleetromngwtic spectrum .sinp the C02 laser as a radiation source. Theoretically optimum operation bas been achieved at lrHz heterodyne frqnencies p h o t d w t i v e G e : Cn detectors operated at 4% and at kHz and MHz frequencies using Pb, photovoltaic detectors at 77.K. In aceordance with the tiwry, the minimm det...
متن کاملSpectrometers for Heterodyne Detection
Heterodyne spectrometers split naturally into two sections: a front-end that shifts the input band to lower frequency and amplifies it, and a back-end which analyzes and detects the signal. This brief review discusses requirements for spectrometer back-ends at submillimeter and far-infrared wavelengths, describes basic spectrometer technology, and indicates some of the important areas for futur...
متن کاملTwo-mode heterodyne phase detection.
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 oscill...
