摘要：

New measurement of the probability distribution of the optical phase difference between two light beams have been carried out for different degrees of mutual coherence, when the average number of detected photons is of order unity. The measurement time was made much longer than the coherence time. Good agreement with our operational theory for the quantum phase is again obtained.
