Sensitivity Limitation of an Optical Heterodyne Spectrometer

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We show an optical heterodyne spectrometer with picometer resolution and high sensitivity. Moreover, we report the quantum limit of detecting multi-mode light using heterodyne detection, and compare it to a typical down conversion source output.
