19. Both the signal sidebands and the rf sidebands of a detuned RSE interferometer are not the pure phase-modulated sidebands but the unbalanced sidebands so that the readout phase, which is π/2 for a broadband interferometer, can be chosen between 0 and π. Here we assume the readout phase of π/2 as the standard detection. Further explanation is available in Chap. 5 and Appendix C of Ref. 8.
