Abstract

Experimental results for the noise of photon-correlation and photon-structure functions are presented. The noise dependences on the mean count rate and on the sampling time are investigated by means of a specifically built linear fluctuation analyzer, and the results are compared with theoretical predictions. The predicted mean count rate dependence and sampling time dependence of the noise are confirmed by the experimental analysis. Some discrepancies between analytical expressions and experimental results are observed in the crossover predictions. The results show that the structure function has better noise performance for relatively high mean count rates and for long sampling times, which strongly suggests a wider use of this statistical estimator in measurements requiring good accuracy, as in the case of uniform sampling.
