Experimental reconstruction of photon statistics without photon counting.
Experimental reconstructions of photon number distributions of both continuous-wave and pulsed light beams are reported. Our scheme is based on on/off avalanche photo-detection assisted by maximum-likelihood estimation and does not involve photon counting. Reconstructions of the distribution for both semiclassical and quantum states of light are reported for single-mode as well as for multi-mod...
متن کاملInvestigating sampling and quantization using a digital storage oscilloscope
The objective of this paper is to remforce students understanding of sampling through experimentation. The scope of this paper is very narrow, focusing on a single laboratory exercise for learning about sampling, which is a critically important topic for students to comprehend. The digital oscilloscope makes an ideal platform for studying sampling, aliasing, and quantization, because not only d...
متن کاملDigital Sampling Oscilloscope
This paper summarizes the construction and operation of a digital sampling oscilloscope, built from discrete analog and digital components, featuring an Arduino microcontoller. In Sec. I, we provide an overview of the primary components of the oscilloscope. We also provide some background and historical information on oscilloscopes in general. In Sec. II, we describe, in detail, the circuit the...
متن کاملAnalysis of Light Fluctuations from Photon Counting Statistics
Abstract Reconstrution of light intensity fluctuations from photon-counting data is a typical ill-posed inverse problem for non-Hermitian transforming operator. Such problems cannot be solved with the help of eigenfunction representation which diagonalizes the operator and simplifies the regularization of a quasi-solution. We describe an analytical method to solve this inverse problem using the...
متن کاملPhoton counting statistics analysis of biophotons from hands.
The photon counting statistics of biophotons emitted from hands is studied with a view to test its agreement with the Poisson distribution. The moments of observed probability up to seventh order have been evaluated. The moments of biophoton emission from hands are in good agreement while those of dark counts of photomultiplier tube show large deviations from the theoretical values of Poisson d...
