The First Kind Operator Equation in the Problem of Statistics Reconstruction of the Number of Quantum Light Photons

STARKOV V.N., SEMENOV A.A., GOMONAY E.V.

ABSTRACT

Using methods of computational physics the algorithm is implemented that allows investigating the ill-posed problem of noise reduction, connected with losses, dark counts and background radiation in photocounting statistics of quantum light. The regularizing operator in operator equation of the first kind allows direct restoration of photon distribution function from photon-number statistics with known noise parameters. This is confirmed by computational experiments.

KEYWORDS

quantum optics, photon probability, ill-posed problem, the operator.
