Analysis of Optimum Heterodyne Receivers for Coherent Lidar Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
A full analysis of the combined effects of all the noise sources of optical heterodyne receiver and the interaction between the competing control parameters of the receiver detector and pre-amplifier will be presented. This analysis provides the mean for true optimization of the coherent lidar receiver. The significance of the optimization of heterodyne receiver is shown for 2-micron coherent lidar.

Improvement of quasi-optimum quantum receiver for M-ary PSK coherent-state signals
When the average number of photons of the signals is large, quasi-optimum quantum receivers proposed in Refs.[1, 2, 3] approach optimum quantum receivers in performance. However when signals are very weak, they perform worse than homodyne or heterodyne receivers. We describe improvements in quasi-optimum quantum receivers for M -ary phase shift keying coherent-state signals and show that the im...
