Thanks again, now I get some intution about the process. Let me just ask a last question. Do you know which can be the physical processes that induce these phase jumps and why should they be small? If they were related to spontaneous emission I would expect the phase jumps to have any value...

Thank you for the explanation, Cthugha. This makes me understant better the concep of chaotic light and why g^{(2)}(0)=2, but leads me to further doubts which I would appreciate if you know and can tell me the answer: Why is the photon number variance of chaotic light \langle n \rangle^2...

Does anyone have an intuitive idea for the statistics of chaotic light? I can understand that the power fluctuations in this kind of light can give rise to a second order autocorrelation parameter g(2) higher than 1. However I can not see why the value for this parameter should be g(2)=2. Does...
