On the Possibility of Breaking the Heterodyne Detection Quantum Noise Limit With Cross-Correlation
The cross-correlation sensitivity of two identical balanced photodiode heterodyne receivers is characterized. Both the balanced photodiodes receive the same weak signal split up equally, a situation equivalent to an astronomical spatial interferometer. A common local oscillator is also split up equa...
