spad_deadtime_correct — PHOTON spad op

使い方

Recover the true photon rate from a dead-time-distorted measured rate.

The exact inverse of the non-paralysable law of :func:spad_deadtime_apply::

n = m / (1 - m*tau)

A round trip apply -> correct is exact to machine precision (measured max elementwise relative error 6.0e-16 over 2000 rates spanning 1e3 to 5e7 Hz at tau = 50 ns, where the measured rate reaches 71.4% of the 20 MHz saturation rate).

There is deliberately no paralysable inverse. m = n*exp(-n*tau) is not injective — every measured rate below the maximum 1/(e*tau) corresponds to two true rates, one below and one above 1/tau — so returning one of them would be a fabrication dressed as a correction. Resolve the branch with an independent measurement (e.g. an attenuator step) and invert it yourself.

measured_hz is a 1-D array of measured rates in counts per second; dead_time_ns the dead time in nanoseconds (default 50, the same placeholder :func:spad_deadtime_apply uses — replace it with the datasheet value). Returns the corrected true rates as a float64 1-D array.

Raises ValueError: negative, non-finite or non-1-D measured_hz, a non-positive dead_time_ns, and — instead of returning inf or a negative rate — any measured rate at or above the saturation rate 1/tau, which no non-paralysable detector can ever produce.
