Measuring Second-Order Correlation Function with Start and Stop Signal

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on measuring the second-order correlation function using a device limited to start and stop measurements, specifically one that records only five stops per measurement. Key elements include the necessity to measure coincidences, independent events in each channel, total measurement time, and the coincidence window. Participants emphasize the importance of clarifying the specific device being used to provide accurate guidance on measuring independent events with the given constraints.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of second-order correlation functions in signal processing
  • Familiarity with coincidence counting techniques
  • Knowledge of measurement time and coincidence window definitions
  • Experience with devices that perform start and stop measurements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for measuring coincidences in signal processing
  • Explore techniques for analyzing independent events in dual-channel systems
  • Study the implications of measurement time and coincidence windows on data accuracy
  • Investigate specific devices capable of start and stop measurements for correlation analysis
USEFUL FOR

Researchers and engineers in the fields of signal processing, experimental physics, and anyone involved in measuring correlation functions with limited measurement capabilities.

How is it possible to measure the second-order correlation function with a device that can only perform start and stop measurements, and for each measurement, it can only record 5 stops? I understand that experimentally it is necessary to measure the coincidences, the independent events in each channel, the total measurement time, and the coincidence window. However, it is still not clear to me how to measure these independent events using only starts and stops. The device has 2 reception channels.

Perhaps you could share with us a reference for what you are asking about. As written, I cannot discern the context - and I doubt others will either.
