Abstract

An experimental comparison of several operational phase concepts is presented. In particular, it is shown that statistically motivated evaluation of experimental data may lead to a significant improvement in phase fitting upon the conventional procedure of Noh et al (1993 Phys. Rev. Lett. 71 2579). The analysis is extended to the asymptotic limit of large intensities, where a strong evidence in favour of multi-dimensional estimation procedures has been found.
