The arbitrary Nth-order intensity correlation measurement with thermal light is both theoretically and experimentally investigated. In a double-slit interference scheme with thermal light, we compare the results for higher- and lower-order intensity correlation and demonstrate that the visibility of the interference pattern can be dramatically enhanced while the resolution can also be improved when the order N becomes larger. The experimental results are in agreement with our theoretical analysis. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
