Preferred Label : time-correlated single photon counting;
IUPAC acronym : CW; TAC;
IUPAC definition : A technique for the measurement of the time histogram of a sequence of photons with
respect to a periodic event, e.g. a flash from a repetitive nanosecond lamp or a CW
operated laser (mode locked laser). The essential part is a time-to-amplitude-converter
(TAC) which transforms the arrival time between a start and a stop pulse into a voltage.
Sometimes called single photon timing.;
