Quantum limited frequency modulation laser spectroscopy
Abstract
Frequency modulation spectroscopy (FMS) is an optical heterodyne technique which allows high-resolution, high-sensitivity measurements of absorptions or dispersions associated with narrow spectral features. With new methods, the sensitivity limitations of FMS (caused by residual amplitude modulation) can be overcome, and quantum-limited performance can be readily achieved. © 1986.
