EXPERIMENTAL METHODS FOR THE OBSERVATION OF OPTICAL HETERODYNE DETECTION.

Abstract

A theoretical development along with experimental results are presented which demonstrate that in optical heterodyne work beam parallelism must be maintained to an accuracy exceeding (theta approximately equal to lambda over D) while beam detector orientation is relatively unimportant. (Author)
