Inversion problem in photon counting with dead time

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is shown that the formula for the probability of photoelectric counting of light in a short time in the presence of nonparalyzable counter dead-time effects may be inverted exactly. This allows the counting probability for an ideal dead-time-less counter to be derived from the probability measured with a real counter, without prior knowledge of the light intensity fluctuations.
