Noise figure and photon probability distribution in Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS)

arXiv:physics/0603004 · doi:10.1364/OE.14.011418

Abstract

The noise figure and photon probability distribution are calculated for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) where an anti-Stokes signal is converted to Stokes. We find that the minimum noise figure is ~ 3dB.
