i have a doubt for quantum yield u wrote number of photons emitted/number of photons absorbed then it should be radiative rate divide by total rate right..?, i am not sure on this, but can u please explain it.
Does the electronics of TCSPC actually measure a single photon? Enlighten me please. I'm curious about this for a long time. I saw that "single photon" may be defined for a group of pulses. In the last your paper, have you compared the use of "% normalized pre-exponential A1 and A2" vs. "F1 and F2"? where Fi = 100*[αiτi/Sum(αiτi)] PS. Thanks for sharing the presentation
You can never be 100% sure, but in practice we restrict the number of photons going to the detector with either an aperture or a neutral density filter, so that way if a photon comes into the sample, statistically it should likely come from a single photon But the issue of multiple photons coming in and causing pulse pile-up is always something we want to avoid
