精确消除 TCSPC 堆积效应(Coates 估计量)—— 早到光子偏差。
> 以下的详细说明为原文 —— 摘要与标题已翻译。
Classical TCSPC records at most one photon per excitation cycle: the
first one. Late bins are therefore starved, because the cycles in which an
early photon arrived never reach them, and the measured histogram is biased
toward short arrival times — a dToF depth read straight off a piled-up
histogram is *too close*, and a fluorescence lifetime is *too short*.
Coates's estimator inverts that exactly. With `N_k` the measured counts in
bin `k and C` the number of excitation cycles, the number of cycles that
survived to reach bin `k is D_k = C - sum_{j<k} N_j`, the per-cycle
detection probability in that bin is `p_k = N_k / D_k` and the pile-up-free
per-cycle intensity is `lambda_k = -ln(1 - p_k)`. This op returns
`C * lambda_k` — the histogram the same scene would have produced if the
detector could record every photon — so it is directly comparable to the
measured one.
This is an exact inverse, not a linearisation: build a histogram from a
known `lambda through the forward model `N_k = C * exp(-sum_{j<k}
lambda_j) * (1 - exp(-lambda_k))` and Coates returns lambda` to machine
precision (measured max relative error 1.6e-15 in the tests, on a pile-up so
severe that the last bin was suppressed to 14.8% of its true counts).
*hist* is the 1-D measured histogram (counts per bin); *cycles* the number of
excitation cycles (laser pulses) that produced it.
Raises `ValueError`: negative, non-finite or non-1-D *hist*, a
non-positive or non-integer *cycles*, a histogram whose total exceeds
*cycles* (impossible: at most one photon per cycle — a sure sign that
*cycles* is wrong or the data are not first-photon TCSPC), and any bin that
consumed every remaining cycle (`p_k = 1, where -ln(0) is inf`).
