Verwendung

Verwischen eines Ankunftszeit-Histogramms durch die Instrumentenantwort (Timing-Jitter).

The temporal analogue of a PSF convolution: a detector's timing uncertainty

(SPAD jitter + TDC quantisation + laser pulse width) smears every arrival

time by the instrument response function, here a Gaussian of full width at

half maximum *irf_fwhm_ps*. The kernel is the exact bin integral of that

Gaussian (erf differences), normalised to sum 1, truncated at

`+-truncate*sigma` and forced to odd length so the convolution is centred.

Ground truth: convolving a unit spike in the middle of a 256-bin window with

`irf_fwhm_ps = 500 at bin_ps = 50` leaves the centroid exactly

where it was (measured shift 0.0 ps — the kernel is symmetric) and gives a

profile whose measured FWHM is 501.22 ps. That 0.24% excess over 500 is the

*measurement*, not the kernel: :func:tcspc_stats finds the half-maximum

crossings by linear interpolation between bins, which slightly overestimates

the width of a Gaussian.

Total counts are preserved *except* at the window edges, where

`mode='same'` discards the tail that falls outside — measured loss exactly

0 for that centred spike, but a genuine loss for a pulse within a few sigma

of either end.

Returns a float64 1-D histogram of the same length as *hist*.

Raises `ValueError`: negative, non-finite or non-1-D *hist*, a

non-positive *bin_ps* / *irf_fwhm_ps* / *truncate*, an IRF sigma below

1e-3 bins (the kernel would be a delta and the op a no-op — say so instead

of pretending to blur), and a kernel that would be longer than the

:data:MAX_BINS cap.

Typed bridge of the photon op `tcspc_irf_convolve into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. a drives bin_ps (default 100) and b drives irf_fwhm_ps` (default 200).
