Table 2 Experimental luminance of fringes in the vicinity of the first main minima: the observation ( from Column (II), Fig. 2) and the dead-time corrected quantities (by correction factor \(\tau _d=0.012\)). Uncertainties of \(I_{obs}(j)\) are statistical errors, while uncertainties of the corrected luminance \(I_{true}(j)\) consist of statistical and three kinds of systematical errors by \(\Delta \tau _d\), Multi-photon interference and slit microstructure defects.
