Normalized PDFs of photodetector signals obtained for polarized light (red lines and symbols, marked as (1) and unpolarized light (blue lines and symbols, marked as (2)). Symbols are experimental points, lines are PDFs calculated using Eq. (4) for M found from the optical spectra (solid lines) and for the extreme case of M = 1 (polarized light) and M = 2 (unpolarized light) (dash lines). Laser power is indicated in each plot.
