The experimental and theoretical photocount distribution of modulated weak luminescence radiation are compared, and the Mandel-Rice formula with modulation is shown to describe well the photon statistics of this radiation. It is shown, combining the square-wave and the exponential modulations, that one can deduce with good accuracy the decay time constants from the photocount distributions of weak modulated luminescence radiation.

An experimental investigation was made of the statistical characteristics of spontaneous parametric luminescence generated in the course of parametric frequency up-conversion. It was found that the laws governing the amplitude distribution and the distribution of photocounts of parametric luminescence were nearly of the Poisson type.
