Dynamic range extension for photon counting arrays

This script is a supplement of the paper: I. M. Antolovic, C. Bruschini, and E. Charbon, “Dynamic range extension for photon counting arrays,” Opt. Express, vol. 26, no. 17, p. 22234-22248, Aug. 2018.<br><br>The first three sections output the F factor described in the paper. The fourth section plots the theoretical response, standard deviation and signal-to-noise ratio for the three recharge mechanisms. <br><br>Measured and detected counts are denoted with m and n, respectively, and normalized to 1/Tdead, where Tdead is the dead time of SPAD imagers. When following the Quanta Image Sensor notation, m/Tdead is the bit density D or electrons, and n/Tdead is the exposure H.<br><br>The fifth section verifies the theoretical curves with simulations results, which are plotted in the last section of the script. The fifth section can be also skipped since *.mat simulation data is provided.<br>
