Abstract
We show that the two prism tunnelling experiment of Mizobuchi and Ohta ke [Phys. Lett. A 168 (1992) 1] does not verify the quantum optical pr ediction due to insufficient statistical precision in the anticoincide nce measurement. We reanalyze their data and show that the observed nu mber of coincidences is actually even larger than what is expected fro m a classical coherent light source.
