摘要
We propose a method to measure the photon statistics of a quantized radiation field in an electromagnetically induced transparency setup. The proposed method provides a direct way of measuring the photon statistics. This method is insensitive to the detector efficiency. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
