Towards photostatistics from photon-number discriminating detectors
arXiv:quant-ph/0310161 · doi:10.1080/09500340408235289
Abstract
We study the properties of a photodetector that has a number-resolving capability. In the absence of dark counts, due to its finite quantum efficiency, photodetection with such a detector can only eliminate the possibility that the incident field corresponds to a number of photons less than the detected photon number. We show that such a {\em non-photon} number-discriminating detector, however, provides a useful tool in the reconstruction of the photon number distribution of the incident field even in the presence of dark counts.
