Uncertainty for multiple components. The limitations of additional components were tested by simulating n=2 to 5 lifetimes, with the initial lifetime τ1=600 ps and each additional lifetime 1.5× the previous; amplitudes were split evenly between the components as 4096×4∕n. Noise was added according to the conservative noise model for 4×4 hardware binning and 2×2 software binning. The relative uncertainty was calculated for each lifetime component as additional components were added. The 30% uncertainty cutoff is shown as a dotted line.
