Abstract

A double balanced optical mixer is proposed for the measurement of optical spectra. It is shown that the in phase and quadrature components of the signal can be extracted. The image rejection ratio for the device and the temperature coefficient of the figure of merit are estimated. Furthermore, it is shown how current clipped correlator designs can be modified to perform the required signal processing.
