Nontrivial photon statistics with low resolution-threshold photon counters / G. Zambra, A. Allevi, A. Andreoni, M. Bondani, M. G. A. Paris. - In: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF QUANTUM INFORMATION. - ISSN 0219-7499. - 5:1-2(2007), pp. 305-309. [10.1142/S0219749907002797]
Abstract:
We 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 beam-splitter two phase-averaged coherent states. The effect of using different resolution thresholds is also discussed.
