Abstract :
High sensitivity reception is a crucial problem of optical communications. The proposed optical-microwave double mixing method can provide 30 dB higher mixing product in a narrow band compared to the direct optical detection. This method can be advantageously used for the reception of subcarrier multiplexed optical signals.
