The threshold sensitivity of non-steady-slate photoelectromotive-force
based GaAs adaptive photodetector was measured at 632.8 nm. The minim
al experimentally detected sinusoidal phase modulation amplitude was a
pproximate to 1.6 x 10(-6) rad root mW/Hz that allowed detection of ap
proximate to 1.6 x 10(-7) mu m vibration amplitudes with 1 mW laser ir
radiation in 1 Hz bandwidth.
