Hi,

Indeed, as the laser is damped down, it will measure the AM noise more than anything else.

Cheers,
Magnus

At least back “a few” years ago … counting photons was a pretty good way to 
generate
random numbers. It’s sort of like looking at current flow. The discrete nature 
of the
process shows up if you look carefully enough.

Is it possible to use the photon flux of a laser as clock source using a sensor 
in photon-counting mode?

Or the photon rate will be chaotic and unstable (as I think but wanted to know)?

Regards,
Ilia.
