Some comments on the relation between photoelectron and photon statistics and on the scaling properties of laser light

Некоторые замечания о соотношении между статистикой фотонов и фотоэлектронов и о свойствах скейлинга лазерного света

Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

By analysing scaling properties of counting distributions, conditions are found under which photon and photoelectron statistics are equivalent. These conditions are not satisfied by all laser models.

Riassunto

Si definisce una trasformazione di scala (scaling) per una distribuzione di fotoconteggi. In base a questa definizione si stabiliscono le condizioni d’equivalenza tra la statistica dei fotoni e quella dei fotoelettroni. Non tutti i modelli di laser soddisfano queste condizioni.

Резюме

Анализируя свойства скейлинга распределений счета, определяются условия, при которых статистики фотонов и фотоэлектронов являются эквивалентными. Оказывается, что все модели лазеров не удовлетворяют этим условиям.
