Figure 2
Photon count statistics analysis performed over an ensemble of pixels marked in the circular region in Fig. 1(a) for four integration times. Markers represent the photon count probability density P(K) from the experiments, and solid lines are the fitting curves using the negative-binomial distribution function [equation (11)], dashed lines are the fitting curves using the gamma distribution function [equation (5)] and dotted lines are the fits using equation (11) with M as the only fitting parameter, while 〈K〉 is calculated from the measured photon counts. The results are plotted as a function of reduced count K/〈K〉, so that P(K) values with different integration times can be stacked in the same figure. |
