optical heterodyne detection
1Optical heterodyne detection — is an important special case of heterodyne detection. In heterodyne detection, a signal of interest at some frequency is non linearly mixed with a reference local oscillator (LO) that is set at a close by frequency. The desired outcome is the… …
2Heterodyne detection — is a method of detecting radiation by non linear mixing with radiation of a reference frequency. It is commonly used in telecommunications and astronomy for detecting and analysing signals.The radiation in question is most commonly either radio… …
3Noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne molecular spectroscopy — (NICE OHMS) is an ultra sensitive laser based absorption technique that utilizes laser light to assess the concentration or the amount of a species in gas phase by absorption spectrometry (AS). Contents 1 Principles 1.1 Types of signals 1.2… …

5Noise-Immune Cavity-Enhanced Optical-Heterodyne Molecular Spectroscopy — (NICE OHMS) is an ultra sensitive laser based absorption technique that utilizes laser light to assess the concentration or the amount of a species in gas phase by absorption spectrometry (AS). Principles The NICE OHMS technique combines in a… …
6Heterodyne — This article is about waveform manipulation. For the use of the term in poetry, see Heterodyne (poetry). For the webcomic characters, see Girl Genius. Heterodyning is a radio signal processing technique invented in 1901 by Canadian inventor… …
7Optical hybrid — A 90° optical hybrid is a six port device that is used for coherent signal demodulation for either homodyne or heterodyne detection. It would mix the incoming signal with the four quadratural states associated with the reference signal in the… …
8Homodyne detection — is a method of detecting frequency modulated radiation by non linear mixing with radiation of a reference frequency, the same principle as for heterodyne detection.In optical interferometry, homodyne signifies that the reference radiation (the… …
9Astronomical optical interferometry — One of the first astronomical interferometers was built on the Mount Wilson Observatory s reflector telescope in 1920 in order to measure the diameters of stars. The red giant star Betelgeuse was among the first to have its diameter determined in …
10Interferometry — is the technique of using the pattern of interference created by the superposition of two or more waves to diagnose the properties of the aforementioned waves. The instrument used to interfere the waves together is called an interferometer.… …
