Comments on Optical Heterodyne Detection

Abstract

An investigation of the response of a quantum detector to a prescribed incident electromagnetic field is presented. For the fields used, a statistical description of the resulting current flow is given. First and second moments of the resulting densities are calculated, and signal-to-noise ratios are computed.

Multiphoton optical heterodyne detection

Malvin Carl Teich

After reviewing recent work on multiphoton direct detection and single-photon heterodyne detection, we examine the behavior of a multiphoton absorption heterodyne receiver. Expressions are obtained for the detector response, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and minimum detectable power for a number of cases of interest. Receiver performance is found to depend on the higher order correlation functions of the radiation field and on the local oscillator (LO) irradiance. Although performance similar to that of the single-photon heterodyne receiver can theoretically be achieved, practical problems would appear to make this difficult. A physical interpretation of the process in terms of the absorption of monochromatic and nonmonochromatic photons is given. The double-quantum case is treated in particular detail; the results of a preliminary experiment are presented and suggestions for future experiments are provided.

Quantum noise figure of fiber OPAs

M.E. Marhic

Introduction In previous chapters we studied wave propagation in fiber OPAs from a classical standpoint, i.e. starting from Maxwell's equations. That approach provides only a partial view of the rich nature of the electromagnetic field, namely its wave nature. However, a complete description of the electromagnetic field requires quantum mechanics. This quantum description of the electromagnetic field (called quantum electrodynamics, or QED) predicts fluctuations in measurable quantities due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and sets ultimate limits on the performance of devices such as optical amplifiers. A remarkable result of this theory is that the statistics and thus the noise performance of a system are affected by the quantum statistics of the source and by the physical measurement that is made. Thus a different analysis is needed depending on whether homodyne, heterodyne, or direct detection (where the field simply impinges on a photodiode) is used. Direct detection reveals the particle nature of the electromagnetic field. More specifically, energy arrives in discrete units, called photons, each of which may create an electron–hole pair in a semiconductor photodetector. In particular, the number of photons in an optical pulse can be thought of as a random variable having a mean and a variance. By deriving the mean and variance of the photocurrent that would be present if one performed direct detection of ideal laser light at the input of an optical amplifier and then a similar measurement at its exit, one can quantify the degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by the amplifier.

Experimental Study of Quantum Noise in Optical Heterodyne Detection

We experimentally investigate the quantum-noise performance of a conventional heterodyne detector and find significant discrepancy between experiment and theory. Further investigations are highly recommended for deeper insight into the physics related to the quantum noise in optical heterodyne detection.

Quantum Theory of Optical Homodyne and Heterodyne Detection

Matthew J. Collett, R. Loudon, Crispin W. Gardiner

The theory of balanced homodyne and heterodyne detection is developed for inputs in which the signal field is in an arbitrary quantum state and the local-oscillator field is in a highly excited coherent state. Exact expressions are derived for the photocount moment-generating functions in the special case of a coherent signal. For more general signals, the first two moments of the photocount probability distribution are determined. The moments are evaluated for the examples of a coherent signal with a chaotic noise component, and for squeezed light derived from a degenerate and from a non-degenerate parametric amplifier. The corresponding moments for direct detection are obtained so that comparisons can be made. The Kelley-Kleiner photocount distribution formula is adapted to balanced detection schemes. Light beams are characterized throughout by their energy fluxes, and the theory accordingly describes steady-state experiments.

Signal-to-noise ratio of preamplified homodyne detection in quantum tomography

Marcelo A. Marchiolli, Salomon Sylvain Mizrahi, V. V. Dodonov

The operational theory of homodyne detection by nonideal detectors, used in quantum tomography, was recently modified in order to incorporate the preamplification (before homodyne detection) of the input signal, thus enabling one to beat the handicap of the lower than 0.5 detector efficiency. In the present work we set expressions for the Mandel $Q$ parameter and the signal-to-noise ratio in terms of the operational (measured) moments of the preamplified homodyne detection formalism. These quantities furnish important information on the statistical properties of the input signal field and the photocounts at the output. We illustrate the theory by considering several kinds of fields (for the input signal) and determine the effects of the preamplification on the output signal-to-noise ratios. Here we essentially verify that (i) the preamplification shifts the statistics towards the super-Poissonian limit, without jeopardizing the capacity of reconstructing a sub-Poissionan input signal, and (ii) the preamplification is more effective, i.e., the rate of increase of the signal-to-noise ratio of the output photocount is larger for low-efficiency detectors than for ideal ones.

Noise in homodyne and heterodyne detection

Horace P. Yuen, Vincent W. S. Chan

Quantum noise in optical heterodyning and homodyning, usually analyzed under the assumption that the photodetector output is conditionally Poisson,1,2 is frequently supposed to arise from local oscillator (LO) shot noise. However, a fully quantum mechanical analysis from Yuen and Shapiro3 has shown that it actually arises from the signal quantum fluctuation; in particular homodyning and heterodyning are realizations of abstract quantum measurements of the field quadratures. We analyze the effect of LO noise, both quantum and excess noise, on homodyne and heterodyne detection. For conventional input light, i.e., fields in coherent states or their random superpositions, we demonstrate how a conditionally Poisson calculation would yield the correct answer but incorrect interpretation for the detection quantum noise.
