Abstract
The photoelectron-accumulation process is considered from the viewpoint of the theory of Markov birth-and-death processes, taking into account both recombination and limitation of the number of photoelectrons that can be accumulated. Expressions are obtained for the SNR, the threshold signal, and the dynamic range.
