General formulas for the factorial cumulants of the photocounting distribution and the cumulants of the integrated intensity are obtained for chaotic light superposed with coherent light, for experiments involving N different counting intervals. The chaotic light may be partially polarized, need not be time stationary or single mode, may differ in frequency from the coherent light, and may have any spectral distribution.
