Sketch of the experimental setup.

The laser beam is sent to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, in which the relative phase between the LO and the signal is changed by means of a piezoelectric movement (Pz). One output of the interferometer is delivered to a hybrid photodetector (HPD) by means of a multimode fiber (MF). The amplified output of the detector is synchronously integrated (SGI), digitized (ADC) and processed offline (PC).
