====== Pile-Up Effect ======
The Pile-Up effect describes the ... s lost at high photon count rates due to the dead time of the TCSPC devices.
Most single photon counti... detectors and [[TCSPC]] electronics have a [[dead time]]. After registering one photon the device needs some time to be ready for the next photon to detect. The de
====== Dead Time ======
In TCSPC the term dead time refers to the time the TCSPC system needs armed again after detecting an event. During the dead time the TCSPC system is blind.
If for example two p
====== TTTR ======
TTTR stands for Time-Tagged Time-Resolved. The basic concept of this measurement mode is to record every individual photon of a [[TCSPC]] experiment. Both the arrival time as well as the TCSPC timing information (i.e. the time from the preceding excitation pulse or to the fol
