Estimation of Optical Field Mean Intensities from Photocount Correlations

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An extremely simple procedure is given for estimating the mean intensity of each component of a two-component optical field from measurements of the number of photocounts recorded over counting intervals of T sec duration spaced τ sec apart. The only a priori knowledge required about each component is the functional form of the first- and second-order coherence functions and an order of magnitude estimate of their coherence times.
