Abstract :
In this paper, an original method which is called photon correlation Fourier spectroscopy (PCFS), is presented. This allows to achieve a high resolution in both the temporal and spectral domain, and measure the emission coherence in spite of weak emission and fast spectral diffusion. A Michelson interferometer is used to get a spectral resolution lower than 1mueV.
