31 SUMMARY: DC-Balanced Homodyne Detection 1. BHD can take advantage of: high QE and ultrafast time gating. 2. BHD can provide measurements of photon mean numbers, as well as fluctuation information (variance, second-order coherence). 3. BHD can selectively detect unique spatial-temporal modes, including polarization states. 31 of 31
