Abstract
The theoretical and experimental studies of luminescence allow us to explore states and processes of atomic, molecular, or solid state physics on the one hand, and to investigate the physical nature of light on the other. In this paper I want to show how different emission processes, such as spontaneous emission, superradiance, superfluorenscence, laser light, light stemming from scattering processes, lead to specific statistical properties of the emitted light. The question of coherence will be given special emphasis. We shall show what conclusions from the statistical properties of light can be drawn on the character of the electronic processes of the source.
