    "abstract": "The continuous transition from a low resolution quantum nondemolition\nmeasurement of light field intensity to a precise measurement of photon number\nis described using a generalized measurement postulate. In the intermediate\nregime, quantization appears as a weak modulation of measurement probability.\nIn this regime, the measurement result is strongly correlated with the amount\nof phase decoherence introduced by the measurement interaction. In particular,\nthe accidental observation of half integer photon numbers preserves phase\ncoherence in the light field, while the accidental observation of quantized\nvalues increases decoherence. The quantum mechanical nature of this correlation\nis discussed and the implications for the general interpretation of\nquantization are considered.",
