  • Abstract
    Previous calculations, assuming random (Poissonian) fluctuations in laser intensity, overestimate the lowest threshold fluxes required to induce ionisation breakdown. This may be corrected by replacing the Poisson distribution by a Polya distribution, which takes account of correlations between coherent photons.
