Abstract

We discuss the analytic presentations of the high-order correlation functions in the N-slit diffraction with thermal light in a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 233603 (2012)]. Our analysis shows that the superresolving fringes in the high-order correlation measurement have two classical counterparts.
