Abstract
The statistical properties of light such as from an optical maser are related to the observable characteristics of multiphoton absorption processes. It is shown that multiphoton absorption provides a technique for investigating the coherence properties of intense light sources. Several simple models for the radiation field are considered, and the statistical properties of these models are derived and discussed.
