Abstract

We show that oscillations in photocount statistics will be destroyed by a sufficient admixture of thermal noise. In particular, we derive a ‘‘diffusion’’ equation evolving in temperature (rather than time) that describes the response of the photocount distribution to the admixture of such noise. We also derive an analytic condition for the temperature to guarantee the existence of these oscillations.
