使い方

Undo TCSPC pile-up exactly (Coates's estimator) — the early-photon bias.

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).

Typed bridge of the photon op tcspc_coates_correct into the 2-D evolution registry: the same implementation, called under the op(v, a, b) convention. This op has no tunable parameter; a and b are unused.
