摘要:
The theoretical expression of the first-order factorial moment of a triggered delayed photocount distribution and a description of its SNR have been developed. We explain the adventages of this thecnique, in comparison with the second-order correlation function, when we measured a temporal signal under low light level. We derived the theoretical errors involved in determining a parameter by measuring both functions for a signal with a periodically modulated intensity, since this kind of signals usually appear in spectroscopy. We conclude that the first-order factorial moment of a triggered delayed photocount distribution is a useful tool for characterizing a signal at low; light level conditions.
