TABLE 1.

Deadtime and afterpulse probabilities of our detectors

Instrument 1 Instrument 2
Afterpulse probability qA = 0.002 qA = 0.007
qB = 0.003 qB = 0.0046
Deadtime τ†A = 50 ns τ†A = 50 ns
τ†B = 48 ns τ†B = 51 ns

Although the deadtime is comparable for all detectors, the afterpulse probability varies significantly from detector to detector.
