Enhancement of the correlation of the photons of thermal light

Abstract

Abstract The scheme of the arrangement of five 50/50 non‐polarizing beam splitters is considered. It may provide for the enhancement of the correlation of the photons of thermal light up to 75%. The correlation of the photons after the arrangement can be measured using ghost imaging, Bell test, Hong‐Ou‐Mandel interference.
