Abstract

The relationship between the imaging visibility of arbitrary Nth-order intensity correlation with thermal light and light's degree of polarization is investigated. It is shown that for the same order correlation, the value of visibility with partially polarized light is greater than that with natural light but smaller than that with completely polarized light, and the visibility in all three cases is remarkably enhanced as N increases.
