Abstract
Photon counting provides a valuable tool for measuring quantum properties of light. Unavoidable imperfections of photon detectors lead to discrepancies between the statistics of photons and statistics of photon counts. Here we consider dead-time corrections and influence of intensity fluctuations for simulated Poissonian statistics of photo counts for the pulsed or continuous wave coherent light sources. We analyse dependence between the statistical moments of corrected distribution and the mean photon number, dead-time, and level of intensity fluctuations.
