Abstract

Recently derived formulae for the integrated intensity distribution, the photon-counting distribution and its factorial moments in the statistics of the superposition of coherent and chaotic multimode fields are proposed as approximate formulae for light of arbitrary spectrum. It is shown by explicit calculations of the third factorial moment for the superposition of a one-mode coherent field with a Gaussian-Lorentzian field that the proposed formulae hold with good accuracy over a wide range of conditions. An application to the determination of spectral parameters of light is given.
