The homodyne detector is a primitive element in many quantum optics experiments. It is primarily a characterization device, used for measuring the quantum state of the electromagnetic field[1]. Quantum integrated photonics[2], in which optical sources, circuits, and detectors are monolithically integrated on a semi-conductor chip, provides a compact, scalable, platform in which to implement quantum devices like the homodyne detector.
