A Beam Splitting Experiment with Correlated Photons uri icon

abstract

  • We perform an optical beam splitting experiment, using a light field, in which the photons arrive in pairs. It is proven that the distribution of photons in the reflected and transmitted beam obeys a binomial distribution. 1988 IOP Publishing Ltd.
