tcspc_stats — PHOTON tcspc op

使い方

Descriptors of an arrival-time histogram: peak, centroid, width, background.

Returns a dict: total_counts · peak_bin (int) · peak_counts · peak_time_ps (the centre of the peak bin, (k + 0.5)*bin_ps) · centroid_ps (the first moment over the whole histogram, background included — run :func:tcspc_background_subtract first if that matters) · fwhm_ps (full width at half maximum above the background, by linear interpolation of the two half-crossings around the peak) · background_per_bin (the median bin, the same robust estimate :func:tcspc_background_subtract uses) · signal_counts (total - background*bins) · sbr (signal-to-background ratio, or None when the background estimate is 0) · n_bins · window_ps.

fwhm_ps is None — never a fabricated number — when the profile does not cross the half-maximum on both sides of the peak, which is exactly what a monotone fluorescence decay does (its peak is bin 0). A None here means “this histogram has no width in the FWHM sense”, not “the measurement failed”.

Ground truth: for a noiseless Gaussian return of FWHM 500 ps, centroid_ps matches the analytic 2d/c to 1.8e-12 ps. fwhm_ps comes back as 508.41 at 100 ps bins and 503.07 at 50 ps bins — the linear interpolation between two bins on either flank systematically overestimates a Gaussian’s width, by 1.7% and 0.6% respectively, and the error shrinks with the bin width. That bias is a property of the estimator; it is reported here rather than hidden behind a “500” that only holds in the continuum limit.

Raises ValueError: negative, non-finite or non-1-D hist, a non-positive bin_ps, and an all-zero histogram (no photon arrived, so there is no arrival time; the centroid would be 0/0).
