摘要
We discuss the quantum-mechanical problem of intensity fluctuations in samples of Gaussian light and its connection with the corresponding classical scalar problem involving fluctuations of random noise power. We obtain an expression for the intensity-fluctuation distribution of light with a Lorentzian spectrum, and investigate analytically its asymptotic behaviour. Numerical techniques are used to evaluate the distribution for various intermediate linewidths, and some examples of the corresponding theoretical photon-counting distributions are also given.
