Clipped correlation of integrated intensity fluctuations of thermal light with an arbitrary spectrum

Abstract

An approximate formula is obtained for the single clipped correlation function of integrated intensity fluctuations of thermal light with an arbitrary spectrum. This formula is compared to the exact function known for light with a Lorentzian spectrum.

Approximate joint photocount statistics for Gaussian light with arbitrary spectral shape

Bahaa E. A. Saleh

An approximate formula is found for the joint moment generating function of integrated intensity fluctuations of Gaussian light in two time intervals. Some lower−order joint moments generated by this approximate formula are compared to their exact values known in case of Lorentzian light and good accuracy is obtained.

Correlation of scaled photon-counting fluctuations

The use of scaling for one-bit correlation processing in optical spectroscopy of nongaussian signals is discussed. A theoretical proof of its equivalence with uniform random clipping, and hence full correlation, is provided in certain cases.

Approximate formulae for the superposition of coherent and chaotic fields

R. Horák, Ladislav Mišta, Jan Peřina

Recently derived formulae for the integrated intensity distribution, the photon-counting distribution and its factorial moments in the statistics of the superposition of coherent and chaotic multimode fields are proposed as approximate formulae for light of arbitrary spectrum. It is shown by explicit calculations of the third factorial moment for the superposition of a one-mode coherent field with a Gaussian-Lorentzian field that the proposed formulae hold with good accuracy over a wide range of conditions. An application to the determination of spectral parameters of light is given.
