Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum-noise-limited interferometric phase measurements
TL;DR: Two schemes for interferometric optical phase measurement, with sensitivity limited only by quantum noise in the light, are analyzed and subkilohertz signals are extracted from classical noise 67 dB greater with sensitivity approaching the quantum noise limit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polished-type couplers acting as polarizing beam splitters
TL;DR: The theory is given for polarizing beam splitters made from polished-type directional couplers using anisotropic core material and a comparison is made between these beamsplitters and those of the fused, biconical type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broadband and tuned signal recycling with a simple Michelson interferometer
TL;DR: Experimental data on the frequency response of both broadband and tuned signal recycling with a benchtop Michelson interferometer and in-line modulation are presented, in excellent agreement with the simple theoretical model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harmonic demodulation of nonstationary shot noise.
TL;DR: Experimental demodulation of nonstationary shot noise, which is associated with strongly modulated light, is reported on, and reducing excess noise by 0.8 dB in the modulation quadrature, by combining the fundamental and third harmonics in a 2:1 ratio, is shown to be feasible.
Journal ArticleDOI
External phase-modulation interferometry
TL;DR: Analysis and test of a laboratory benchtop version of a compound interferometric phase sensor, a Michelson interferometer whose output is combined coherently with a phase-modulated local oscillator beam tapped off the Michelson input beam, find that the shot-noise-limited sensitivity achievable with this system is comparable with that obtained by using internal phase modulation.
