spad_deadtime_apply — PHOTON spad op

• データ種: countrate → countrate

• 呼び出し: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.spad_deadtime_apply(rate_hz, dead_time_ns=50.0, paralyzable=False) (実装を直接呼ぶなら import photoncount; photoncount.spad_deadtime_apply(rate_hz, dead_time_ns=50.0, paralyzable=False)、台帳から引くなら opsphoton.get("spad_deadtime_apply"))

使い方

Distort a true photon rate by the detector's dead time (counts lost).

After every detection a SPAD is blind for a recharge (dead) time tau, so the *measured* rate m is always below the *true* incident rate n. Two classical laws, and this op implements both:

• non-paralysable (default) — an arriving photon during the dead time is simply lost: m = n / (1 + n*tau). Monotonic, saturating at 1/tau.

• paralysable (paralyzable=True) — an arriving photon *restarts* the dead time: m = n * exp(-n*tau). This law peaks at n = 1/tau (where m = 1/(e*tau)) and then falls, so a bright scene can read *darker* than a dim one. That is why no inverse op exists for it (see spad_deadtime_correct).

*rate_hz* is a 1-D array of true rates in counts per second; *dead_time_ns* is the dead time in nanoseconds, defaulting to 50 — the middle of the 10-100 ns range a passively quenched SPAD occupies, and a placeholder to be replaced by the datasheet value, never a measurement of your detector. Returns the measured rates as a float64 1-D array of the same length.

Ground truth (pinned in the tests): at n = 1/tau the non-paralysable law gives exactly n/2; the paralysable law's maximum is exactly 1/(e*tau) at n = 1/tau; both reduce to m = n as n*tau -> 0.

Raises ValueError: negative, non-finite or non-1-D *rate_hz*, a non-positive *dead_time_ns*, and a non-bool *paralyzable*.
