ABSTRACT:
An interferometric, self-homodyne optical receiver is disclosed for detecting and demodulating phase modulated optical signals without requiring a local oscillator normally associated with coherent optical receivers. The self-homodyne receiver includes an interferometer having a phase modulator optically coupled to one channel of the interferometer and a phase-locked arrangement providing electrical signals which control the phase modulator and phase of one channel of the interferometer with respect to the other channel.
