Abstract

The estimation of the average rate of photoelectronsl.a based on the time sequential techniques, is examined for two modes of the optical field, the ideal laser light (Poisson), and the Gaussian light, (Bose Einstein, BE). For the second model, the effect of the used statistics is examined by applying the waiting time statistics and the life time statistics. The numerical values of the instants of occurrence of photoevents are obtained by simulation of the process. The results are compared with what are obtained using the fixed sample size techniques. The comparison assured that the two techniques are equivalent for Poisson model, but for thermal model, estimation based on the sequential techniques are superior to those based on the fixed sample size techniques.
