A Stochastic Model for Electron Multiplication Charge-Coupled Devices – From Theory to Practice
Figure 6
Sampling of the distribution of output electrons of an EM register for 5 photons.
The simulation shows the effect of low light intensities in the model. A large number of bins is chosen to emphasise the spike at 0 output electrons. The spike is the result of the assumption that zero input electrons will always yield zero output electrons. Other parameters: 90% quantum efficiency and 0.02 electrons spurious charge per pixel. Sample number 100,000.
