Popis: Optical QND measurements may be made using devices which act as nonlinear beam splitters, transmitting noise in a phase-sensitive way. One class of such devices are resonant optical cavities containing a nonlinear medium. By appropriate choice of nonlinearity and operating parameters, various QND observables may be measured. We consider, in particular, the extent to which the QND performance of these devices is degraded by intracavity losses.
