Synthesise a single-pixel photon arrival-time histogram with a known answer.
The generative model of a direct time-of-flight (dToF) / TCSPC measurement::
lambda_k = signal_photons * P(pulse in bin k) + ambient_photons / bins
N_k ~ Poisson(lambda_k)
where the pulse is a Gaussian of full width at half maximum *irf_fwhm_ps*
centred at the round-trip time `t0 = 2*distance_m/c, and `P(pulse in bin
k)`` is its exact integral over the bin (an erf difference, not a
midpoint sample) — so with `noise=False` the returned histogram is an
analytic ground truth, not an approximation of one. *ambient_photons* is the
total background (sunlight, dark counts) spread uniformly over the window.
`noise=False returns lambda_k itself (no sampling); noise=True`
draws one Poisson realisation from `numpy.random.default_rng(seed)`.
Returns a float64 1-D histogram of length *bins*. The unambiguous range is
`c * bins * bin_ps / 2` — 3.84 m at the defaults (256 bins x 100 ps), with
a bin resolution of 1.50 cm.
The pulse is not renormalised to the window: a target near the far edge
genuinely loses the tail of its pulse, exactly as a real sensor does, and the
total signal comes back slightly below *signal_photons*. Renormalising would
have made the truncated pulse asymmetric and biased its centroid.
Raises `ValueError`: a non-positive *distance_m*, a *bins* outside
`[2, MAX_BINS]`, a non-positive *bin_ps* / *irf_fwhm_ps*, negative photon
budgets, a non-integer or negative *seed*, a non-bool *noise*, and — instead
of wrapping the pulse silently to a short distance — a *distance_m* whose
round-trip time falls outside the `bins * bin_ps` window.
