Theory of optical spectroscopy by digital autocorrelation of photon-counting fluctuations

Eric Jakeman

Digital autocorrelation of optical signals is discussed with particular reference to the technique of clipping, reported briefly in an earlier publication. A detailed analysis of the relationship between the autocorrelation functions of clipped and unclipped photon-counting fluctuations is given. By evaluating the generating function for the joint distribution of intensity fluctuations, corrections to the earlier results are calculated which arise if the time over which the signal is sampled is not negligible compared with any coherence time of the light. The effect of clipping in heterodyne experiments is also analysed.

Correlation of scaled photon-counting fluctuations

Eric Jakeman, Christopher J. Oliver, Edward R. Pike +1 more

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.
