Laser Light

With wave trains of up to one second duration (for sunlight this amounts to 15 orders of magnitude less!) are the photons of laser light equally correlated to one another over a large range of time distances. Laser light shows low intensity fluctuations only, so that its photon statistics becomes ideally a parallel of the time axis over the range of interest here. Photons arrive at the receiver without any recognizable preference in the scale of temporal distances.
