Ultra-sensitive focused laser differential interferometer using balanced detection.
Balanced detection is demonstrated to be a simple method for achieving shot-noise-limited measurements with a focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI). Both polarization components of the signal beam are separately detected, and differential amplification of the two signals cancels common-mode laser-intensity noise. An ultrasonic source is used to provide a reference signal to compare measurements made by a conventional FLDI with those from the modified instrument. Balanced detection is shown to improve the signal-to-noise ratio by 30 dB and demonstrated to achieve shot-noise-limited measurements.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
