Coherence, correlation and fluctuation in empty-wave experiments

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

States coherent to finite order are discussed in detail and applied to the Blake-Scarl experiment. A number of distinct photon probability distributions having different wavelike fluctuations seem compatible with their results. We propose a relation between wavelike fluctuations and limits on the level of correlation expected.
