  • Abstract
    This letter presents a method for obtaining the probability density of light energy p(ε) from a knowledge of the probability distribution of photoelectrons P(n). It is shown that if p(ε) is expanded in an infinite series of orthonormal Laguerre functions, then the coefficients of the Laguerre functions are simply linear combinations of P(n). Examples are presented.
