Abstract
We present a technique for measuring the second-order coherence function $g^{(2)}(\tau)$ of light using a Hanbury-Brown Twiss intensity interferometer modified for homodyne detection. The experiment was performed entirely in the continuous variable regime at the sideband frequency of a bright carrier field. We used the setup to characterize $g^{(2)}(\tau)$ for thermal and coherent states, and investigated its immunity to optical loss. We measured $g^{(2)}(\tau)$ of a displaced squeezed state, and found a best anti-bunching statistic of $g^{(2)}(0) = 0.11 \pm 0.18$.
