  • Abstract
    We demonstrate an optical technique to achieve balanced detection where single photoreceiver is allowed instead of two. By allocating more optical power to the probe beam, the DC background and the signal amplitude of the photocurrent became very small simultaneously under ultra-small differential phase condition so that the dark fringe operation was also achieved.
