heterodyne optical detector
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… …
2Optical coherence tomography — Intervention Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image of a sarcoma MeSH …
3Heterodyne 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… …
4Heterodyne — 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… …
5Superheterodyne receiver — A 5 tube superheterodyne receiver made in Japan around 1955 In electronics, a superheterodyne receiver (sometimes shortened to superhet) uses frequency mixing or heterodyning to convert a received signal to a fixed intermediate frequency, which… …
6Cryogenic particle detectors — operate at very low temperature, typically only a few degrees above absolute zero. These sensors interact with an energetic elementary particle (such as a photon) and deliver a signal which can be related to the type of particle and the nature of …
7Interferometry — 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.… …
8LIDAR — A FASOR used at the Starfire Optical Range for LIDAR and laser guide star experiments is tuned to the sodium D2a line and used to excite sodium atoms in the upper atmosphere …
9Regenerative circuit — The regenerative circuit (or self regenerative circuit) allows an electronic signal to be amplified many times by the same vacuum tube or other active component such as a field effect transistor.Description Regenerative circuits were employed in… …
10Mercury cadmium telluride — HgCdTe or mercury cadmium telluride (also cadmium mercury telluride, MCT or CMT) is an alloy of CdTe and HgTe and is sometimes claimed to be the third semiconductor of technological importance after silicon and gallium(III) arsenide. The amount… …
