Abstract

Temporally incoherent white light has been frequency modulated achromatically so that in photomixing relatively narrow-band frequency-modulated spectra have been observed. This achromatic frequency modulation can be obtained by the use of a balanced grating interferometer with audio or rf modulation of the vertex grating.
