Abstract

A general method of dealing with the photocount distribution is proposed when dead time effects are to be taken into account. The clipped correlations of photocounts are investigated in detail and pointwise bounds for the correlation functions are explicitly provided when the dead times are not necessarily small compared to the sample time.
