Statistics of Photon Arrival Time
نویسنده
چکیده
In an experiment designed to measure the time of arrival of individual photons, it is of critical importance to understand the behavior of the system in the event that more than one “detectable” photon arrives at the detector element. This document explores some of the characteristics and relationships associated with the recorded photon arrival time. The analysis is in the context of discrete pulses of light impinging on a detector, with the overall aim being to assess a characteristic time of arrival (e.g., centroid) for the pulse.

Probing single molecule kinetics by photon arrival trajectories
Multitime correlation functions of photon arrival times in single molecule fluorescence resonant energy transfer measurements are computed using a simple model representing slow conformational dynamics described by a collective stochastic Gaussian coordinate. The analogy with time domain nonlinear optical spectroscopy is explored. Various statistical measures of distributions of single photon a...
متن کاملNonclassical photon statistics in single-molecule fluorescence at room temperature
The fluorescence of single terrylene molecules in a crystalline host is investigated at room temperature by scanning confocal optical microscopy. Photon arrival times are analyzed in terms of interphoton time distributions, second order correlation functions, and the variance of the photon number probability distribution. Antibunching at short times and bunching behavior for longer times is obs...
متن کاملPreliminary results of the analysis of the BATSE TTE data
— The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) observed many types of data and one of them is the time-tagged photon events (TTE data). We use the Bayesian block analysis, using Bayesian statistics, analyses the TTE data. Our results; calculations of duration (T100), count rates (burst photon numbers in different channels) and count peaks (in 64, 16 and 4 ms). We present the duration, the peak dura...
متن کاملApplication of Photon Statistics to the Quanta Image Sensor
The Poisson statistics of photon arrival rates are applied to the imaging performance of the Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) concept. Signal and noise as a function of exposure is analyzed and we find SNR only obeys the square-root law under sparse exposure. The Dlog H characteristic of the QIS is quantified. Linearity and dynamic range are also investigated. I. SIGNAL Photons are emitted from light ...
متن کاملMultidimensional spectroscopic probes of single molecule fluctuations
Single photon counting time distributions obtained from single molecule photon arrival trajectories are employed in the theoretical study of multistate kinetics coupled to a two-state jump bath. The bath time scale may be extracted from statistical analysis of oneand two-point time-domain optical measurements. The amplitude and shape of the distribution of interphoton arrival times reflects bat...
