We wish to report a recent experimental observation of anticorrelation from first-order and second-order incoherent thermal fields in the joint photodetection of two independent photodetectors. In the view of classical theory, the nontrivial second-order correlation of thermal light is caused by the statistical correlation of intensity fluctuations, which can be observed only from first-order coherent thermal radiations. What is the physical cause of this observed anticorrelation, then?
