Two-photon interference with two independent pseudothermal sources

The nature of two-photon interference is a subject that has aroused renewed interest in recent years and is still under debate. In this paper we report the observation of two-photon interference with independent pseudothermal sources in which subwavelength interference is observed. The phenomenon ma...

Description
Summary:The nature of two-photon interference is a subject that has aroused renewed interest in recent years and is still under debate. In this paper we report the observation of two-photon interference with independent pseudothermal sources in which subwavelength interference is observed. The phenomenon may be described in terms of optical transfer functions and the classical statistical distribution of the two sources.
