Abstract
Considerable work has been done on heterodyne efficiency of optical detectors1-6. Properties considered have been beam spot size, phase front alignment and detector uniformity. Efficiencies have been evaluated using combinations of Planar, Airy, and Gaussian signal and local oscillator fields. Previous work has dealt with circular, single detectors.
