Superbunched bright squeezed vacuum state

Opt Lett. 2012 Jun 1;37(11):1919-21. doi: 10.1364/OL.37.001919.

Abstract

In this Letter, we experimentally study the statistical properties of a bright squeezed vacuum state containing up to 10(13) photons per mode (10 μJ per pulse), produced via high-gain parametric down conversion (PDC). The effects of bunching and superbunching of photons were observed for a single-mode PDC radiation by second-order intensity correlation function measurements with analog detectors.
