Abstract
During the past decade, light beating spectroscopy has developed into a major new technique for analyzing optical fields with an effective resolution orders of magnitude greater than was available with traditional spectroscopic techniques. In all the early light beating experiments, the optical field under study illuminated a photodetector whose output current was then analyzed with an audio or r.f. spectrum analyzer in order to determine the photocurrent power spectrum.
