Degree of fourth-order coherence by double Hanbury Brown–Twiss detections

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/8/084205

Abstract Photon quantum statistics of light can be shown by the high-order coherence. The fourth-order coherences of various quantum states including Fock states, coherent states, thermal states and squeezed vacuum states are investigated based on a double Hanbury Brown–Twiss (HBT) scheme. The analytical results are obtained by taking the overall efficiency and background into account.

Keywords: fourth-order coherence quantum state single-photon counting
