Abstract
We present a novel approach — Coherence Observation by Interference Noise (COIN) — for the measurement of coherence. The method is based on analysis of the quantum interference fluctuations (noise) in the incoherent emission from a medium, following the excitation by a pair of time delayed pulses with random relative phase. In addition to spectroscopic applications, the new method is useful for the characterization of short pulses and their wavelength determination.
