Abstract
We measure photon-number statistics of pulsed fields containing mesoscopic photon numbers in a time duration shorter than any feasible measuring time. As the detector we use a photomultiplier tube delivering anodic outputs in whose pulse-height spectrum only the zero detected-photon peak is resolved. We demonstrate that we can reconstruct the correct detected-photon statistical distribution provided the maximum number of detected photons falls within the range of linear response of the photomultiplier tube.
