Dependences of Mandel parameter Q and corresponding normalized Mandel parameter (Q) on photon-counting time interval are experimentally investigated for pseudo-thermal light. We demonstrate that (Q) is more appropriate than Q, to measure the statistical deviation from Poisson distribution, because (Q) presents clearly both the intrinsic statistical properties and measuring effects. The advantages of (Q) in charactering nonclassical emissions are also discussed.展开更多
