Numerical reconstruction of photon-number statistics from photocounting statistics: Regularization of an ill-posed problem

Abstract

We demonstrate a practical possibility of loss compensation in measured photocounting statistics in the presence of dark counts and background radiation noise. It is shown that satisfactory results are obtained even in the case of low detection efficiency and large experimental errors.
