Abstract: | By the method of “short optical paths”, the dynamics of photon antibunching is shown to depend on the polarisation state of the photons and their two-photon absorption in an isotropic medium. In the case of self-induced optical birefringence, a change in helicity of the elliptically polarized beam or a change in sign of the angle between the large semi-axis of the ellipse and the analyzer causes a reversal of antibunching into bunching. Linear and circular polarisation of the photons are discussed as well for antibunching related with two-photon absorption, defined by the imaginary part of the molecular hyperpolarizability tensor. |
