contents We present a technique to estimate the proportion of coherent emission in the light emitted by a practical laser source without spectral filtering. The technique is based on measuring interferometric photon correlations between the output ports of an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. With this, we characterize the fraction of coherent emission in the light emitted by a laser diode when transiting through the lasing threshold.
