A. Introduction Phase - sensitive detection is a powerful method for seeing very small signals in the presence of overwhelming noise. Developed in the 1960's, it's become a ubiquitous experimental technique, and the lock-in amplifier1 is the instrument which makes this method possible. In this laboratory we'll learn about the method in some generality, and apply it to measure some very small quantities which would be impossible by conventional means.
and phase-sensitive capabilities may put you on a fruitful track. B. Phase sensitive detection A lock-in, or phase-sensitive, amplifier is simply a fancy AC voltmeter. Along with the input, one supplies it with a periodic reference signal. The amplifier then responds only to the portion of the input signal that occurs at the reference frequency
