Thermal noise and correlations in photon detection.
The standard expressions for the noise that is due to photon fluctuations in thermal background radiation typically apply only for a single detector and are often strictly valid only for single-mode illumination. I describe a technique for rigorously calculating thermal photon noise, which allows for arbitrary numbers of optical inputs and detectors, multiple-mode illumination, and both interna...
متن کاملPhoton noise and correlations in semiconductor cascade lasers
A comprehensive model for photon noise and correlations in semiconductor cascade lasers is presented. Photon emission events in different gain sections of cascade lasers are correlated. These correlations are found to be positive and arise because the gain sections are connected electrically. The scaling of photon correlations and intensity noise with the number of cascade sections is discussed...
متن کاملPhoton noise correlations in electrically coupled semiconductor lasers
Measurements of the correlation between the photon noise of two semiconductor lasers sharing a bias circuit are presented. The photon noise of the electrically coupled lasers is found to be correlated by as much as 70%. The photon noise correlations are measured at low frequencies as a function of the bias current for lasers connected in series and in parallel, and for high and low impedance bi...
متن کاملAzimuthal correlations in photon-photon collisions.
Using the general helicity formula for γγ collisions, we are showing that it should be possible to determine a number of independent “structure functions”, i.e. linear combinations of elements of the two-photon helicity tensor, through azimuthal correlations in two-body or quasi two-body reactions induced by the photon-photon interaction, provided certain experimental conditions are satisfied. ...
متن کاملNonclassical correlations of phase noise and photon number in quantum nondemolition measurements
The continuous transition from a low resolution quantum nondemolition measurement of light field intensity to a precise measurement of photon number is described using a generalized measurement postulate. In the intermediate regime, quantization appears as a weak modulation of measurement probability. In this regime, the measurement result is strongly correlated with the amount of phase decoher...
