TABLE 3.

Values for the cumulants calculated from dual-color PCHs with ɛA = ɛB = 0.21, Inline graphic and δ-values given below

δ = 0 δ = 0.001 δ = 0.0025
κ10 = κ01 10 9.90 (−1%) 9.75 (−3%)
κ20 = κ02 0.76 0.53 (−30%) 0.22 (−71%)
κ11 0.76 0.73 (−4%) 0.69 (−9%)

The number in parentheses is the relative error between the ideal PCH (δ = 0) and deadtime-compromised PCHs (δ = 0.001 and δ = 0.0025). The second-order cumulant κ11 is much less affected by deadtime than the other second-order moments, κ20 and κ02.
