Experimental retrieval of photon statistics from click detection
arXiv:2403.11673 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.110.023717
Abstract
We utilize click-counting theory for the reconstruction of photon statistics. Our approach employs an analytic pseudo-inversion method to estimate photon counts from measured click counts. A reconfigurable time-bin multiplexing, click-counting detector is set up that renders it possible to alter the photon-number resolution as needed. A detector tomography is carried out, yielding vital measurement features, such as quantum efficiencies, cross-talk rates, etc. We gauge the success of the pseudo-inversion by applying the Mandel and binomial parameters, resulting in an additional interpretation of these parameters for the discrimination of distinct quantum statistics. In addition, we apply a loss deconvolution technique to account for detection losses.
