Generation of ideal thermal light in warm atomic vapor

Generation of ideal thermal light in warm atomic vapor

We present the experimental generation of light with directly observable close-to-ideal thermal statistical properties. The thermal light state is prepared using a spontaneous Raman emission in a warm atomic vapor. The photon number statistics are evaluated by both the measurement of second-order co...
