We present a technique to directly measure the violation of Siegert relation, relating the first and second order photon correlation of thermal light. Specifically, we extract correlations between photoevents detected at the output ports of an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Using this technique, we observe a violation of Siegert relation by laser light scattered off a rotating ground glass, while Siegert relation is obeyed for light from a mercury vapor lamp.
