Mutual coherence of optical and matter waves

G. A. Prataviera, E. V. Goldstein, P. Meystre

abstract: We propose a scheme to measure the cross-correlations and mutual coherence of optical and matter fields. It relies on the combination of a matter-wave detector operating by photoionization of the atoms and a traditional absorption photodetector. We show that the double-detection signal is sensitive to cross-correlation functions of light and matter waves.
