Photon statistics of the two-photon micromaser
Optics Communications, 1990We have studied the two-photon micro-maser by solving exactly the equation of motion for a single-mode field in a cavity coupled to a two-photon transition in a three-level cascade atomic system, where detuning of the intermediate level is arbitrary. We find that the dependence of the first two moments of the steady state photon number distribution on ...

Abstract The task of quantum optics is to study the consequences of considering a beam of light as a stream of photons rather than as a classical wave. It turns out that the differences are rather subtle, and we have to look quite hard to see significant departures from the predictions of the classical theories.

NONTRIVIAL PHOTON STATISTICS WITH LOW RESOLUTION-THRESHOLD PHOTON COUNTERS
International Journal of Quantum Information, 2007We address the reconstruction of photon statistics using realistic photodetectors having low quantum efficiency and finite resolution as photon counters. Using a maximum-likelihood method, based on measurements taken at different quantum efficiencies, we experimentally reconstruct the nontrivial photon statistics of the state obtained by mixing at a ...

Photon statistics in two-photon linear amplifiers
Optics Communications, 1995Abstract An analytical form of the general solution of the Fokker-Planck equation is given for the two-photon linear amplifier. With use of the general solution photon statistics are investigated for the amplified field by the two-photon linear amplifier. Unlike a phase-insensitive amplifier, the phase-sensitive two-photon linear amplifier can reduce

Photon Statistics of a Single Photon Source
2003We report on the realization of a single photon source relying on the pulsed excitation of a single organic molecule at room temperature, and the study of its intensity fluctuations over 4 orders of magnitude of the observation time scale. On time scale of a few excitation periods, sub-poissonian statistics is clearly observed and the probability of ...

Photon Statistics of Semiconductor Microcavity Lasers
Physical Review Letters, 2007We present measurements of first- and second-order coherence of quantum-dot micropillar lasers together with a semiconductor laser theory. Our results show a broad threshold region for the observed high-beta microcavities. The intensity jump is accompanied by both pronounced photon intensity fluctuations and strong coherence length changes.

Sub-poissonian Photon Statistics by Photon Addition
Optica Acta: International Journal of Optics, 1986A novel method for generating light with sub-Poissonian photoelectron event statistics is described. The method is based on adding photons into an initially Poisson stream of photons, the number added being greater in intervals when the original Poisson stream contains fewer photons.

Photon statistics of a two-photon laser
Physics Letters A, 1980Abstract The steady state quantum statistical properties of a two-photon laser are presented for the case when the cavity loss mechanism is simulated by a single-photon process.

Photon Counting Histogram Statistics
2001In the macroscopic world fluctuations are typically exceedingly small and beyond the resolution power of most experiments. Only in special circumstances, such as near the critical point of a liquid, do fluctuations become visible to the naked eye. However, the importance of fluctuations increases once the macroscopic world is left behind and one starts
