A recent Brief Report [Phys. Rev. A 79, 035801 (2009)] investigates two figures of merit for heralded photon sources based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion with a continuous pump, namely, the time-averaged temporal coherence between the signal and idler beams and the time-averaged conditioned second-order degree of coherence for photons in the heralded arm. However, contrary to what is claimed, no one-arm second-order effect is actually measured.
