Abstract :
An optical front end for double-balanced homodyne receiver is proposed. The device combines the function of a preamplifier, a 3-dB coupler, and a narrowband filter. A theoretical model is established and numerical results are presented. High gain and narrow bandwidth are predicted for this device
