Various phase concepts may be treated as special cases of the maximum likelihood estimation. For example, the discrete the operational phase of Noh, Fougeres and Mandel is obtained for continuous Gaussian signals with phase modulated mean. Although the Gaussian estimation gives a satisfactory approximation for fitting the phase distribution of almost any state the optimal phase estimation offers in certain cases a measurably better performance.

Abstract
Various phase concepts may be treated as special cases of the maximum likelihood estimation. For example, the discrete the operational phase of Noh, Fougeres and Mandel is obtained for continuous Gaussian signals with phase modulated mean. Although the Gaussian estimation gives a satisfactory approximation for fitting the phase distribution of almost any state the optimal phase estimation offers in certain cases a measurably better performance. This has been demonstrated in a neutron-optical experiment.File in questo prodotto:
