We address the reconstruction of photon statistics using realistic photodetectors having low quantum efficiency and finite resolution as photon counters. Using a maximum- likelihood method, based on measurements taken at different quantum efficiencies, we experimentally reconstruct the nontrivial photon statistics of the state obtained by mix- ing at a beam-splitter two phase-averaged coherent states. The effect of using different resolution thresholds is also discussed.

Abstract
We address the reconstruction of photon statistics using realistic photodetectors having low quantum efficiency and finite resolution as photon counters. Using a maximum- likelihood method, based on measurements taken at different quantum efficiencies, we experimentally reconstruct the nontrivial photon statistics of the state obtained by mix- ing at a beam-splitter two phase-averaged coherent states. The effect of using different resolution thresholds is also discussed.
