Abstract
The photon counting distribution for the M-mode superposition of chaotic and periodically modulated coherent fields is studied. The average numbers of photons of chaotic field are assumed to be the same in all modes. Three types of modulation are considered: square-wave, triangular and cosinusoidal. The modulation of the coherent field changes considerably the photon counting distribution.
