Mac. Flores et al., POLARIZATION-INDEPENDENT LINEAR HOMODYNE DETECTION OF OPTICAL-PHASE MODULATION WITH ADAPTIVE PHOTODETECTORS, Electronics Letters, 34(8), 1998, pp. 797-799
A simple configuration for the linear homodyne detection of fast phase
modulation in the presence of relatively slow polarisation/ phase dri
ft in the signal beam is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. It
uses adaptive photodetectors which are based on principles of dynamic
photorefractive holographic recording (two-wave mixing or photo-EMF ef
fect).
