Advanced Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting Techniques

The book explores the evolution of time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) from its initial applications in measuring fluorescence decay functions to its advancements over the past two decades. Originally limited by the technology of the 1970s and 80s, TCSPC was known for its sensitivity and time resolution despite slow acquisition times and one-dimensional data recording. The text highlights significant technological improvements in electronics and laser techniques that have dramatically enhanced the speed and complexity of TCSPC applications.
