Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of the optimum repetition rates of the excitation pulses in single photon decay spectroscopy experiments using an alternative technique to measurement of the time interval distribution function for the arrival of the first photoelectron, Pf(t). This technique involves direct measurement of the sine transform from the time intervals, ti, obtained after the excitation pulse. The influence of pulse repetition on the accuracy with which the decay time can be obtained is discussed in terms of the background noise superimposed on the fluorescence signal. A set of experiments was carried out with a TMMC crystal for comparison with the theoretical predictions.
