Experimental reconstruction of photon statistics without photon counting
M. Bondani, G. Zambra, A. Andreoni +5
Experimental reconstructions of photon number distributions of both continuous-wave and pulsed light beams are reported. Our scheme is based on on/off avalanche photodetection assi…

A two-step MaxLik-MaxEnt strategy to infer photon distribution from on/off measurement at low quantum efficiency
Andrea R. Rossi, Matteo G. A. Paris
A method based on Maximum-Entropy (ME) principle to infer photon distribution from on/off measurements performed with few and low values of quantum efficiency is addressed. The met…

Photon statistics without counting photons
Andrea R. Rossi, Stefano Olivares, Matteo G. A. Paris
We show how to obtain the photon distribution of a single-mode field using only avalanche photodetectors. The method is based on measuring the field at different quantum efficienci…
