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 کاملTwo-Photon Interference without Bunching Two Photons
We report an interference experiment in which the two-photon entangled state interference cannot be pictured in terms of the overlap and bunching of two individual photons on a beamsplitter. We also demonstrate that two-photon interference, or photon bunching effect on a beamsplitter, does not occur if the two-photon Feynman amplitudes are distinguishable, even though individual photons do over...
متن کاملCounting statistics of photons produced by electronic shot noise.
A theory is presented for the photodetection statistics of radiation produced by current fluctuations in a phase-coherent conductor. Deviations are found from the Poisson statistics that would result from a classical current. For detection in a narrow frequency interval delta omega, the photocount distribution has the negative-binomial form of blackbody radiation if e delta omega is less than t...
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...
