Coherent analysis of quantum optical sideband modes

Opt Lett. 2005 Sep 15;30(18):2481-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.30.002481.

Abstract

We demonstrate a device that allows for the coherent analysis of a pair of optical frequency sidebands in an arbitrary basis. We show that our device is quantum noise limited, and hence applications for this scheme may be found in discrete and continuous variable optical quantum information experiments.
