Glauber correlation function
In optics, the Glauber correlation function is used to characterize different types of light based on its coherence properties. It was presented by Roy J. Glauber in 1963, when he used it to explain the fundamental differences between laser light and light from light bulbs. As a result, Glauber was awarded one half the 2005 nobel prize for "for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence", with the other half shared by John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hänsch.
