Shaping the $g^{(2)}$ autocorrelation and photon statistics

Quantum Physics 2021-02-22 v3 Optics

Abstract

We propose a method of arbitrarily shaping and scaling the temporal intensity correlations of an optical signal locally, avoiding periodic correlations. We demonstrate our approach experimentally using stochastic intensity modulation. We also analyze and simulate shaping both temporal correlations and photon statistics that are fully specified by the user. We show that within the confines of monotony and convexity, the temporal correlations are independent of photon statistics and can take any shape.
