7 results about "Homodyne detection" patented technology

In electrical engineering, homodyne detection is a method of extracting information encoded as modulation of the phase and/or frequency of an oscillating signal, by comparing that signal with a standard oscillation that would be identical to the signal if it carried null information. "Homodyne" signifies a single frequency, in contrast to the dual frequencies employed in heterodyne detection.

A spectrum analyzer and spectrum detection method based on zero beat detection

The application discloses a spectrum analyzer and a spectrum detection method based on homodyne detection. The spectrum analyzer comprises a tunable laser, two 50:50 beam splitters, a fixed phase modulation module, a controller, a data processing module and two homodyne detection modules. The laser beam output by the tunable laser is a local oscillation light. The two 50:50 beam splitters correspondingly split a to-be-detected light and the laser beam. A group of to-be-detected split light beams and a group of laser light pulses are directly input into one homodyne detection module. Another group of to-be-detected split light beams and a group of laser light pulses modulated by the fixed phase modulation module are input into another homodyne detection module. The fixed phase modulation module makes the phase difference between the input laser light pulses and the output laser light pulses be pi / 2 or 3pi / 2. The two groups of homodyne detection modules respectively coherently detect the laser light pulses and the to-be-detected split light beams input thereon and amplify the detection signals. Finally, the to-be-detected light intensity corresponding to each tunable laser beam wavelength is obtained.
