Hanbury Brown Twiss intensity interferometry with picosecond-resolution — •Sebastian Karl1, Raimund Schneider1,2, Stefan Richter1,2, and Joachim von Zanthier1,21Institut für Optik, Information und Photonik, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, 91058 Erlangen, Germany — 2Institut für Optik, Information und Photonik, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

The ability to measure temporal intensity correlation functions with high contrast can be regarded as the first step towards spatial Hanbury Brown Twiss (HBT) intensity interferometry [1]. Such measurements have been recently performed using the light of arc lamps [2] or real stars [3]. The contrast in these measurements critically depends on the time resolution of the detectors. We present a setup and results for the measurement of temporal intensity correlations with a resolution < 90 picoseconds using a xenon arc lamp. These measurements fit our theory and simulations extremely well [4]. In the light of recent revivals of HBT measurements [3] we discuss a setup to measure temporal intensity correlations of bright stars even on telescopes with a diameter of only 0.5 meters.
