Abstract
Evaluations of the triple correlation function for different time dela ys are performed from combinations of the triggered probability densit y values corresponding to a series of counting times. This technique c an only be applied to very low light level signals, but ultimately, th e signal-to-noise ratio obtained by this method is better, for short t ime delays, than that obtained from a direct measurement of the triple correlation function.
