Inclusion of nonidealities in the continuous photodetection model
Alexandre V. Dodonov, S. S. Mizrahi, V. V. Dodonov · Physical Review A · 2007
Some nonideal effects as nonunit quantum efficiency, dark counts, dead time, and cavity losses that occur in experiments are incorporated within the continuous photodetection model by using the analytical quantum trajectories approach. We show that in standard photocounting experiments the validity of the model can be verified and the formal expression for the quantum jump superoperator can also be checked.
