Optimizing the correlation signals in Hanbury-Brown-Twiss-setups — •André Pscherer, Raimund Schneider, Thomas Mehringer, Johannes Hölzl, and Joachim von Zanthier — FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Deutschland
When measuring the correlations between arrival times of photons at two detectors like in the original Hanbury-Brown and Twiss (HBT) experiment the key to satisfactory results is a good understanding of the various parameters affecting the second order photon correlation function g(2) (r1→, r2→, τ). We discuss in particular effects like a finite detector size and limited temporal resolution and investigate how they influence the trade-off between count rates and the contrast of the g(2) (r1→, r2→, τ)-function.
