Publisher's Synopsis
A comprehensive reference on modern technological aspects of time–correlated single photon counting as used in academic and industrial applications. It thus covers areas that have either been neglected in the current literature, or for which an updated reference is not available.
The book focuses on general fundamentals of photon statistics, light sources, and electronics for photon counting, time–correlated photon counting, data analysis, and fluorescence correlation techniques. One whole chapter is also devoted to applications of this universal technique in life sciences, with most of the attention given to fluorescence phenomena. The whole is backed by an appendix offering measurement examples and practical hints for data analysis.
For physicists, spectroscopists, chemists, and biochemists.
