Photoelectron Counting Probabilities for Non-classical Fields

Daniel F. Walls, Gerard J Milburn, H. J. Carmichael · Optica Acta International Journal of Optics · 1982

The single-mode photoelectron counting formula derived using the Glauber-Sudarshan diagonal coherent state representation is generalised to fields for which no well behaved Glauber-Sudarshan P-distribution exists using the generalized P-representation. From this formula the photocount distributions for a number-state and a squeezed-state are calculated.
