Application of the Functional Formalism to Investigation of the Photoelectric Counting Distribution
Keyword(s):
A general formula is derived relating the generating function of the N-fold photoelectron counting distribution to the characteristic functional of the optical field. For a stationary Gaussian radiation field the generating function is expressed as an infinite product involving eigenvalues of a set of integral equations. The results of Bédard, Dialetis, and Cantrell are shown to hold as special cases. Addition of photoelectric counts from correlated Gaussian light is analyzed and the appropriate generating function is given.
