摘要
Based on a standard binomial model of sub-Poissonian photocounting statistics, we analyze the discrimination performance between the two possibilities that light has been potentially absorbed or not. For that purpose, we study with numerical simulations the behavior of different information-theory-based measures of the contrast and show that the Chernoff measure allows one to obtain a useful contrast characterization that has simple physical interpretation and that helps in analyzing the benefit of using sub-Poissonian light to improve detection tasks.
