Abstract
An important problem in single and multifold photoelectron statistics is to determine the statistical properties of a totally polarized optical field at some point \(\vec r\) from the photoelectron counts registered by a detector1. These properties may be readily found once the statistics of the integrated intensity (proportional to the total energy collected by the detector) are determined.
