Intensity correlation of coherent light beams

Корреляция интенсивности когерентных пучков света

  • Published:
Acta Physica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae

Abstract

By making use of the coincidence technique, the intensity correlation between two coherent light beams produced by splitting a light beam by means of a semitransparent mirror could be verified. The data obtained in this way are in good agreement with the result predicted by a semi-classical theory.

Резюме

Использование техники совпадений позволило проверить корреляцию интенсивности между двумя когерентными пучками света, полученными разделением пучка при помощи полупрозрачного зеркала. Результаты измерения хорошо согласуются с предсказаниями выработанной нами квазиклассической теории.
