First-order decomposition of thermal light in terms of a statistical mixture of pulses
Aurélia Chenu, Agata M. Brańczyk, J. E. Sipe
We investigate the connection between thermal light and coherent pulses, constructing mixtures of single pulses that yield the same first-order, equal-space-point correlation funct…

Thermal light cannot be represented as a statistical mixture of single pulses
Aurélia Chenu, Agata M. Brańczyk, Gregory D. Scholes +1
We ask whether or not thermal light can be represented as a mixture of single broadband coherent pulses. We find that it cannot. Such a mixture is simply not rich enough to mimic t…
