Millimeter-wave GaAs Schottky barrier diodes were used as fast light detectors. It was possible to observe beat signals between a HeNe laser oscillating at 633 nm and a cw dye laser with approximately 80-GHz frequency offset. Thus, great frequency differences between lasers emitting in the visible can be determined with the high accuracy inherent in heterodyning techniques.
