<p>A method for characterizing optical pulses in a pulse train wherein pulses in the pulse train have substantially a same shape, the method comprising: a) detecting photons from pulses in the pulse train with a probability of detecting a photon per pulse being substantially less than one; b) determining a time lapse between detection of a first photon and a subsequent second photon and storing the time lapse in a memory; c) repeating b to accumulate a plurality of time lapses; and d) using the plurality of time lapses to characterize the pulses.</p> |
