Coherence and photon statistics for optical fields generated by Poisson random emissions

Physical Review A, 1983
We examine the coherence properties and photon statistics of stationary light obtained by the superposition of nonstationary emissions occurring at random times, in accordance with a homogeneous Poisson point process. The individual emissions are assumed to be in a coherent, chaotic, or $n$ state. The statistical nature of the emission times results in

Theory of photon statistics and optical coherence in a multiple-scattering random-laser medium

Physical Review E, 2004
We derive the photon-number probability distribution and the resulting degree of second-order optical coherence for light emission from a uniformly distributed active species within a multiple-light-scattering medium. This is obtained from a master equation describing the probability distribution for photons in the vicinity of position r, traveling ...

Statistical and coherence effects in nonlinear optical parametric up conversion. I. Coherent interaction

Optical and Quantum Electronics, 1982
The distinction between coherent and incoherent nonlinear optical interactions is established at the beginning of the paper. In the first part parametric up conversion (PUC) by coherent nonlinear optical mixing of the strong pumping radiation with weak input radiation is treated with respect to statistical properties of generating radiations.

Photon statistics and quantum phase distribution for coherent optical links in the presence of phase noise from both the laser source and the RF oscillator, and dispersion

Journal of Optics, 2023
Abstract A model of photon statistics and quantum phase distribution is analyzed for coherent optical communication links in the presence of quantum phase noise, dispersion and phase noise of the radio-frequency (RF) oscillator using an in-line optical amplifier. The quantum analysis of a dual drive Mach–Zehnder modulator and the quantum

Optical Coherence and Counting Statistics

1991
The coherence of a light field can be domonstrated by the phenomenon of interference. In the classical experiment of Thomas Young in 1801 the coherence was induced by arranging that the light diffracted by a fine slit should illuminate two parallel slits which then acted as two coherent sources. In the more modern version of the experiment a laser beam

Spatial stationarity of statistical optical fields for coherence holography and photon correlation holography

Optics Letters, 2013
The spatial stationarity of scattered optical fields constitutes a basic premise of coherence holography and photon correlation holography. Nevertheless, spatial stationarity seems to have attracted less attention and still remains a less familiar concept than temporal stationarity because it has been a common practice in statistical optics to assume ...

Relation between the Statistical Representations of Real and Associated Complex Fields in Optical Coherence Theory

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1972
In the general theory of optical coherence, the following problem discussed in the present paper, arises: to determine the statistical properties of a field represented by an analytic signal from the knowledge of the statistical properties of the corresponding real field.

First- and second-order statistics of partially coherent, high-numerical-aperture optical fields

Optics Letters, 2008
The intensity probability distribution as well as the cross-spectral density of partially coherent optical fields generated through high-numerical-aperture illuminations are analyzed, and novel effects, not apparent in paraxial optical fields, are described.
