Photon-number statistics with silicon photomultipliers [PDF]
Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 2010 We present a description of the operation of a multi-pixel detector in the presence of non-negligible dark-count and cross-talk effects. We apply the model to devise self-consistent calibration strategies to be performed on the very light under investigation.
