is introduced as a new measurement of photon statistics. Dependences of Mandel parameter Q and corresponding normalized Mandel parameteron photon-counting time interval are experimentally investigated for pseudo-thermal light. We demonstrate thatis more appropriate than Q to measure the statistical deviation from Poisson distribution, becausepresents dearly both the intrinsic statistical properties and measuring effects. The advantages ofin charactering nonclassical emissions are also discussed.
