A beam with a photon flux of 1000 photons/s is incident on a
detector with a quantum
efficiency of 20%. If the time interval of the counter is set to 10
s, calculate the average
and standard deviation of the photocount number for the following
scenarios:
(a) the light has Poissonian statistics;
(b) the light has super-Poissonian statistics with ∆n = 2×∆nPoisson;
(c) the light is in a photon number state.
